The Hawkeyes, there is no comparison. This question should never be asked again.
For the record, the Cyclones have won the Cy Hawk Trophy, awarded to the athletic department with the most annual wins for three of the past four years, including 16 - 11 point win for the 2009 -10 athletic season. So yes, I can see why the Hawkeyes never want to see the answer to this question again.
Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones are the two big names...
