Cyclone Fanatic has begun an interesting thread asking the group who they feel is in a better long-term position, ISU or SUI.
To me there is no discussion: It's SUI.
As long as SUI maintains a fat athletic budget- the official number is 50% larger than ISU, but I suspect the "in-kind" monies make it at least double- they will succeed at a higher level than ISU in the aggregate.
Look down the list of the top twenty teams in any non-revenue sport. 15 will be from a Big Time Football School, and the other 5 are Ivy/Private and have massive endowments to spend on sports. Schools that are on a pay-as-you-go budget like ISU may have moments in the sun, but will generally be also rans.
It's all about the money. Pluck and hard work only go so far.
