ON IOWA'S RECENT HISTORY WITH THE FCS

Once upon a time the athletic director at Big School U would pick up his gold-plated telephone, ask one of his three secretaries to get the Sacrificial Lamb State AD on the phone and an understanding would be reached: Sacrificial Lamb would be paid a copious amount of money to fly out to Big School, get slaughtered, take their paycheck and return to Nowheresville USA. It was how the system worked. It was a polite method for a FBS school to notch a win and a way for an FCS school to build a new recreational center that didn't require them to sell naming rights to a local cable provider.
