      They're a D1 program, why not? It wasn't terribly long ago that Drake had a larger fan following, and more of a name, than UNI. All four D1 schools should participate, or they should just kill the thing altogether. I'm all for leaving it as is, it's a well run event.

          Same here. It was interesting to find out that this nets us more $$ than playing the games at home.

            The directors of athletics of Drake University, Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa, and the University of Iowa, and the leadership of the Iow...


            Classic renewed for another 2 years...through 2019.
            The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                      I didn't like it at first, either. But if we went back to Home-and-home with both, I would miss certain things about the Big4Classic.

                      1. The mix of fans from all four schools is fun.
                      2. $$$ is better for UNI with the Big 4.
                      3. Beating Iowa and ISU is more fun in front of the big mixed crowd.

                      Great memory from last year: That McKay girl dunks it and the Cyclone crowd goes wild. My first thought: "Don't you guys realize that's only 2 points?"

                        What is each schools record since playing at Wells Fargo? We have to be close to the best win %, but then again Drake always gives a free win to IA or ISU every other year.

                          We are 2-2
                          Drake is 0-4
                          Iowa and ISU are 3-1

                          I think.

                            Hey its nice to get to play Drake every other year.

                            What's UNI's record over last 4 years if u throw in Drake games.
                            Winning is more fun than losing.

                              Drake has been competitive two out of four years. They lost in lopsided games in '13 and '14. Last years game with Iowa was a solid outing by them in a loss. Iowa obviously won, but had a hard time doing so as DU was hitting threes in a tight game.

                                So without Drake, everyone else is .500

                                1-1
                                1-1
                                2-2 (us)
