Good questions except for the Division I question about competing with Iowa and Iowa State. We are Division I! As is Maine. And UNI did win at Iowa State last season. Just a pet peeve shared by many UNI fans concerning the nomenclature used by some in the media.

And don't forget the other division I football team in the state.... Drake

Nice sarcasm, but true. There are 4.5 ways Division I universities handle football.

1. 85 scholarships-Iowa
2. 63? scholarships-UNI
2.5. Some scholarships-Albany, I believe
3. No scholarships-Drake
4. No football-see below

So Drake is to be criticized for fielding a team, but Bradley, Creighton, Evansville, and Wichita get a pass? I wonder how successful those four BB programs would have been the past 20 years if they had a football team to finance, even one without scholarships? And yes, Evansville just recently dropped football.

I wasn't criticizing Drake.
I wish we could play them every year instead of the D2 game.

Works for me too. UNI just can't be generous and come to Des Moines to play!

I'd love to play Drake each year...and I could care less if we play the Hawkeyes...
