[NU Sports] Big East bones

[Mark Ament]

Very true Art.  The final tale is far from being written either as there are rumblings in Iowa about the debt Iowa State took on to upgrade facilities following the signing of the new big 12 tv deal with Fox.  Taxpayers and their legislators are not too happy about the prospect of being left holding the bag for hundreds of millions of dollars that Fox won't be funding if there is no Big12.
The twists, turns and unforeseen consequences of this whole charade are staggering.
