I was also kind of curious why other Big Ten teams, including Michigan, didn't have higher spending. There have been a lot of stadium renovations going on lately and Iowa's wasn't even that expensive compared to some of the others.
The attendance was just over 23,000, but only the south and west stands were open. In the pictures you are seeing the east stands, so it looks like nobody was there.
Anyway, Robinson scares me as an Iowa fan, especially if he learned to throw. Last year's game Robinson came in and just ran the ball straight down the field when the entire world knew there was no chance he was going to pass. Luckily on the final drive there wasn't enough time left and he had to pass resulting in the game ending interception.
God I hope we don't see expansion get out of control. I think a 10-team conference is the perfect size. Play a round robin (a la the Pac-10) and don't worry about a conference championship game. Let's just drop Northwestern and be the real Big Ten.
Assuming ST stands for special teams, Iowa returns both starters... K Daniel Murray and P Ryan Donahue. That bumps the Hawks up to a tie for second, but with the return of a starting QB.
