Re: UNI in the Register
I agree the article is crap but the question stands: In a world where most of the money is going to fewer and fewer schools, can UNI continue to survive at the D1 level. Things would be on a much more equal level if there was no Longhorn or Big 10 network. Now they can claim they are no longer suckling at the taxpayers teat anymore. But the perception is that UNI is still living off of taxpayer subsidies. Let's face facts. No matter how well UNI performs on and off the field we are still going to be 3rd in the hearts and minds of the media, the legislature and the citizens of Iowa.
