Very interesting. I talked with Darren Miller about that subject a few weeks ago.

Officials at both schools determined the bad blood between the fan bases (imagine that) was too much and they decided to take a break. By the late 1960s, ISU really wanted to play Iowa and several legislators were publicly advocating for it. Then AD Evashevski signed a two-year deal to play ISU twice in 1977 and 1978 in Iowa City, but arbitration ruled the series was for four years. Then it became annual.

I was just saying that myself. Iowa basketball needs to honor Murray Wier, Don Nelson and Tom Davis at some point.

The trophy provides the backdrop. The rivalry is the story

Conference plans a 9-game schedule in 2015. They haven't decided if there will be a second protected game. My guess is, unfortunately for this rivarly, is it won't happen.

The problem is Minnesota-Wisconsin outranks Iowa-Wisconsin because of longevity. Wisconsin would get 2 crossdivisional rivals instead of just one

Interesting. That's not one the Big Ten lists on its trophy list. I'll have to look into that.

It probably will be. The Big Ten's policy covered outdoor stadiums, not domes. That's why the Iowa-Minnesota game in 2008 was held at night.

I spoke with Big Ten officials a few months ago who have said they have no plans to revisit their TV deals concerning November night games. I'm sure the 2006 Ohio State-Michigan clash would have been perfect for prime time, as would have last year's Iowa-OSU game.
