The president of the University of Iowa should require that the band director take responsibility for their actions that contributed to the issues after the Cy-Hawk game.
1.0 The band was instructed to stay off of the football field. Video evidence clearly shows the band forming their group and marching across the field. Very disrespectful to the host school.
2.0 The band was instructed to exit the stadium through the east gate. Video evidence clearly shows the band exiting through the west gate. Very disrespectful to the host school.
3.0 When the band reached the crowded exit street, video evidence clearly shows that the band pushed/marched into the crowd instead of waiting for an opening or for the crowd to clear. The band instigated the problem with the crowd by pushing their way through the crowd.
I believe that the band director should apologize to both schools for the actions of the UofI band which damaged the reputation of both schools.
