Iowa had a better record 4 of the years, NU had a better record 4 of the years, and two years they had the same record. But Iowa is SOOOOOO much better.  |
Both Iowa and NU have fine programs. NU has a past that includes some of the greatest football teams in history.
Iowa has a proud tradition of sports that extend beyond football. Iowa has academics to which NU may someday aspire.
Both campuses are in extremely nice, livable cities.
NU will be a welcome addition to the B10. In my experience NU fanbase is midwest class like Iowa's.
