You can't anymore. U of Iowa sent WRNL a cease and desist order for these shirts. One of the WRNL guys who post here could probably chime in more.
Honestly how can they do that, I dont understand how they have any right over a few letters, especially when they arent even the same, and not a logo of theirs etc.
I would like to see how they can say they have a right to any of that.
They have plenty of lawyers though making up **** like not paying their bills, Im really surprised they can find contractors that will do work for them anymore.

It's called an intimidation factor. Iowa's cease and desist wouldn't hold up in court, but WRNL can't afford to take the chance of running into a douchebag judge siding on the wrong side of things, not to mention lawyer fees of fighting the cease and desist.

I know that, I just think I would have called their bluff, I mean seriously, any judge with half a brain would have thrown that **** out, and probably wouldnt have even needed a lawyer at that point. But who knows big babies.
But they still sell this version

Not exactly sure.
Remember, it will be in the mud hole so either bring something you can throw over the fence or bolt cutters to cut the fence.

This infuriates me. I didn’t go to law school, but here is my pro bono reply to the C&D:

“Dear U of I legal graduates,

If you had gone to a real school, you’d know that parody is fair use. Please redirect your efforts and resources to paying nurses and contractors.

Go Cyclones!

WRNL”

Doesn't matter. When they went to Wazzu last year the game was on Fox.

I wouldn't say 'doesnt matter'. They'll still go to games on other networks, but that doesnt mean that it isnt a factor. If there are a couple great games on a given weekend and one of those is on an ESPN network they'll probably pick that one.

Thanks, didn't realize ESPN held game days at locations other than games they cover.
