If an Illinois non-profit fan group bought the tickets, it's cowardice for Iowa to invalidate them, full stop. Pawning them off to a local charity is just trying to dress their cowardice in generosity. Either way, Iowa Athletics is full of s***.

Eh. You can't claim a not-for-profit discount then tell them its for a different not-for-profit. Misrepresenting who you are actually buying the tickets for isn't a great look.

Agreed. Bad look for both.

Well done Big 10.

This. If you read through the thread one member eventually says 'because they wouldn't let us buy them we said who we were plus the sneak in surprise is half the fun!'

Bad look by both, worse for Iowa IMO

This is about where I am at. Both come off bad on this.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Iowa looks really dumb and petty - it’s not like they’ve been selling out their games.

Except one is a bunch of college kids, the other are grown ass adults in the Iowa admin barring said college kids from attending a game.

Way worse look for Iowa

From a national perspective, it looks worse for Iowa. But I don't think they, or the locals, really care all that much. In the end, it's a big nothingburger.

I think they both look petty. U of I students tried to get a nice discount on a large block of seats by posing as Boys and Girls Club. That's pretty shady--even for dumb college kids.

Iowa looks dumb for cancelling them regardless.

Both look bad. No one wins except for the actual Boys and Girls club that is going to the game now.

1) College adults, nobody ever considers that if this were a group of soldiers or contractors or service industry folks not one person would be calling them "kids"

2) Iowa's definitely winning the petty war. That being said if these students had just applied for the group discount as a charitable org in the first place they'd be winning this PR war easily.

Honest question, is it standard practice to keep students from an opposing school to buy tickets in bulk? I can't imagine Marquette allowing a group of Wisconsin students to buy out a section of Fiserv for a Marquette Creighton game. Obviously opposing fans can buy individual tickets, but it seems reasonable to me for an athletic department to decline to sell an entire section to a conference rival's students. If an athletic department wants to sacrifice potential ticket sales in exchange for preserving their home court advantage, I think that's their prerogative. If that's the standard practice, then the Illinois students misrepresenting themselves as a Boys and Girls Club to get around it is pretty sh*tty.

I don't know, I think I'm with Iowa on this one.

Did the Big 10 change the rules of basketball and make baskets worth 4 points? Badgers have 33 points in 16 min.

I can't believe how bad the Big Ten is.  For hearing nothing but Big Ten talk every week, the games they play make them all look terrible.

Ohio State is an argument for why NET shouldn’t be considered much. Them being 29 is pretty unbelievable.

Blowout wins and close losses boost them at the moment but given their descent in recent games, they’ll bottom out soon

Get ready for a month of media fanboy talk about how great the Big 10 is, how they’re just beating each other up, how hard it is to win on the road, blah, blah, blah.

Hell, I once got escorted out of the DePaul student section for daring to wear a Marquette shirt.  We used my brother's friends DePaul student ID to get in and they didn't want opposing fans in the student section.

Of course, we got escorted to seats four rows behind the MU bench.  So that was nice.

This is just a larger scale version of the same thing.
