The Iowa State student senate is on fire these days. After successfully stopping the BYU Cougars from joining the Big 12 and implementing an “adopt a trashcan” program at the local frisbee golf course two weeks ago, they are now poised to make an even bigger splash. At their most recent meeting in the basement of Iowa State’s Memorial Union, they voted to place the Big 12 Football Championship Game in Des Moines, Iowa.
In June, the Big 12 board unanimously approved to bring the championship game back for football in 2017.
