Fine by me. If the series goes away I'll be thrilled to have Iowa be the one that cancels it.
Per KCCI:
The parent of a Hawkeye marching band member said Cyclone fans threw beer, assaulted band members, groped female band members and slapped the drum line director in the face in Ames.

All 61,500 Cyclone fans in attendance committed multiple crimes, yet not one person was arrested?
Maybe it was one of these fancy bags.
And with social media there has been NOTHING!?!?
Accountable for what? Stating facts? There were no accusations in the release. They are investigating numerous complaints, as they should. It’s up to you handle seeing a press release in a rational manner.
Pollard said they talked to the police office that escorted the band and the officers said there were no incidences to report.
I have many friends in the ISU band, and their director told them that the rumor that an IU band member was pushed and broke their ribs, is 100% false. That information was gained as part of reported conversation between the two band directors that happened after the game.
An Iowa band member did break their ribs; they fell down the stadium stairs (not pushed), and landed on their bass drum. That sucks for that individual, but the foul-play associated with it is 100% false.

Can we expect a public apology from the ADs office at Iowa?
I'd just like our fanbase to give an enormous cheer and maybe an encore after the ULM band plays at halftime.
