What's this?

I found this article from 2013 that talks about the Iowa-ISU relationship


"But the "tremendous pressure" exerted on Iowa to attempt to include Iowa State is a different matter altogether. There is nobody at Iowa State who can exert any pressure on the Iowa administration, because there is nothing about Iowa's relationship with Iowa State that Iowa needs to maintain. Pressure requires leverage, and Iowa State has none."

"No, that leverage in in the state capitol building, where a handful of interested observers -- including the former governor -- thought Iowa should have pushed for ISU's admission to the Big Ten when it looked like the Big 12 was about to implode and leave the Cyclones in the MAC or Mountain West. It was where there was some absurd grumbling about Sally Mason abstaining from a unanimous vote to admit Nebraska as a "show of solidarity" with Iowa State. And these are the same people that continue to push on Mason every time expansion comes up. The immediate threat to the Big 12 might have passed, but Iowa State is still not making Big Ten money, and these people clearly think it's the University of Iowa's solemn duty to ask if its little brother can join the club."
