Alabama receives 26 mil and South Carolina receives 42 mil only Six SEC schools no support.
UCLA 30 mil, Rutgers 21 mil and Maryland 12 mil. Only 5 public Big 10 universities receive no direct institutional support.
Desperate ISU turning to socialism

Pretty bold statement on the Big Ten not allowing something they already allow.
ISU grads can’t possibly comprehend this concept. I have a 1.99% home loan. Why would I pay off my house when I can use the same money to make 4 x more a year w the same money. Do Clones think?
Which big 10 school is diverting media conference revenue income to non member schools?
It’s a **** school that lost its AAU status so the answer is no. They are an academic embarrassment to our state.
Iowa State University is a Carnegie R1 (Very High Level of Research). Most of our research comes from the Department of Energy and private industries. AAU values medical research and discounts research in other areas.
Veterinary medicine, engineering, sciences, agriculture, etc.
We don’t have a medical school, but we are good with what we do.
Technically we chose to leave since we didn’t fit.
We're all very impressed. Now give it a rest and go away.
How old are you? I have never been to any other team forums than hawkeye forums. Just cant understand the need to discuss stuff with opposing fans.
The $21M for revenue sharing was a cost that wasn’t really planned for, mostly because it wasn’t on anyone’s radar before implementation. The athletic department seems to have this covered now, and we’re in a position to compete with legitimate NIL deals. The challenge is that money is being thrown around for players who wouldn’t make it through the clearinghouse and so far there’s been no penalty for doing it.
One idea being discussed is raising the gambling tax. Iowa currently has the lowest rate among the 41 states with legalized gambling around 6%. Even tripling it would still leave Iowa in the lower half nationally.
ISU’s issue is that donors stepped up to fully fund revenue sharing and legitimate NIL deals. But now you have situations like Kentucky paying $6M for one of our former basketball players. That’s pure pay‑for‑play, and only a handful of programs can operate at that level. Somehow we’ve reached a point where some teams have $40–45M rosters, which is just wild.

Can you answer the question? That was gibberish, have you been drinking? Wait. Don’t answer that question. Only one question here. Yes or no. Does ISU need the support. Clown
No. Alabama didn’t get a $26 million check from the State of Alabama for athletics. You’re confusing NCAA institutional support with direct state funding. Institutional support is an accounting category, not proof of taxpayer funding. Those aren’t the same thing, no matter how badly you want them to be.
Yes or no are they an AAU institution. It’s plain and simple. Also, isn’t it great that the U of I has a world class children’s hospital. Would you wave? Does Ames have anything similar. Can we wave to the cows and goats?
I don't think I've ever known anybody in Iowa that had goats. If they were at the county fair I missed them.
Brent and Ann Clark, West Des Moines.
I think he should enroll at Iowa and get some smarts in that tiny little brain of his.
The University of Iowa also benefits from the Big Ten Academic Alliance, which brings in more millions to schools than football and basketball do.
I'm not aware of any P4 or G5 conference that has anything comparable. I suspect that when Nebraska was admitted their faculty must have been doing cartwheels. They were in the AAU at the time.
