Nicole Obrien+FollowAudi Crooks’ surprising switch: From Hawkeyes fan to Cyclones starAudi Crooks, now leading Iowa State women’s basketball and topping national scoring charts, actually grew up rooting for the rival Iowa Hawkeyes.

That message resonated with Crooks, who wanted to prove herself on her own terms. Now, she’s not just thriving—she’s rewriting the record books. With big games ahead, will her leadership finally push Iowa State to the next level?

GalacticGiraffe+FollowIowa’s tough schedule sets them apartIowa’s women’s basketball team has been grinding through one of the toughest schedules in the country, and it’s showing. While Iowa State boasts an undefeated record, the Hawkeyes’ path has been way more challenging—facing top-ranked teams and still coming out strong. Even though ESPN Analytics calls the rivalry game a toss-up, Iowa’s resume is hard to ignore. Wins over teams like Baylor and Miami prove they’re battle-tested. If Iowa pulls off another big win, it could launch them into the Top 10. How much do you think strength of schedule should matter when ranking teams? #Sports #IowaHawkeyes #IowaState00Share

Eddie Deleon+FollowIowa State faces tough choices on NIL moneyIowa State’s athletic department is feeling the squeeze as new NIL and revenue-sharing rules pile on millions in extra costs. AD Jamie Pollard says other schools, like Colorado, are already cutting staff and racking up huge debts just to keep up. Pollard insists ISU won’t go down that road, but admits there’s no clear answer for how to cover the $20 million-plus in new expenses. With donors tapped out and collectives maxed, he says the only hope is finding more business sponsors. How do you think this will change college sports—and should schools be forced to spend this much? #Sports #IowaState #NIL00Share
