Re: Cy Town - Ames, IA

I love Iowa state, but there is a less than 1% chance this thing works. Frankly it might be the reason they aren’t able to join a mega conference in a decade bc It’ll be that much of a financial strain.

That’s pretty reckless reporting on KETVs part. If they took 5 minutes to actually look at the listing you would understand it’s an investment sale with 18 years of lease term left. They are implying and presenting the information as if it is closing. I’d be upset if I was the Omaha GM at this report.
