Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowIowa State skips bowl game, eyes big changesIowa State is making waves by turning down a bowl game this year, even though they qualified with an 8-4 record.

This move could mean financial penalties or conference trouble, but it also signals a fresh start for the program. What do you think—smart move to reset, or a missed opportunity for the players and fans? #Sports #Football #IowaState00Share
