New Sponsor for Cy-Hawk Series

The Iowa Corn Growers Association announced they will be the new sponsor for the Cy-Hawk series.  No huge shock here- the Iowa Corn Growers have been involved in the series for a couple of years now.  They've been sponsoring the Corn-Fed Game Day promotion for the past couple of years.

The only change will probably be more of those good feeling ads during the game showing the sun setting on a combine set to nice music.  Makes you feel good about being an Iowan.  I think its a great pair.

The biggest question is, what happened to Hy-Vee?  They sponsored the series for a long time, and suddenly dropped off.  My guess (total speculation) is that Hy-Vee might be looking at the Iowa-Nebraksa series (especially football) and might explore the possibility there. 

It's no secret that the Iowa-Nebraksa match up will be a marquee event, and with Hy-Vee rapidly expanding into the Omaha area, it seems like a fit.  If Hy-Vee wants to really expand their marketing in Omaha, getting involved with Nebraska is the way to go- they're the only show in town during football season.
