Gary Barta is a gift that keeps on giving. He regularly makes that school look bad.
I’ve bought tickets through other ADs for away games. Not sure what the problem is.
I’m guessing that Iowa is claiming they shouldn’t have sold the group tickets. And the Illinois people are like we didn’t try and hide anything.
Then have your own fans buy tickets.
Will there be free pizza and Matt Gatens bobbleheads?
One thing you can always count on is Iowa absolutely refusing to get out of its own way. There’s not a more inept athletic department when it comes to PR.
So, they bought the tickets legally, right? Did they answer a question that asked if they were Iowa fans before clicking buy? What are the grounds (legally, logically or morally) for not allowing a group who exchange money for their barely worthwhile seats to use them?
What kind of athletic department is so weak that they would even attempt to block a group from buying their AVAILABLE tickets?
Maybe Barta should make sure that none of his ******* idiot fans go to Ames, or Minneapolis, or Champaign or wherever they could legally be able to go. Just becuase.
That is the weakest, fearful, stupid and "come and criticize me and my department and school" moves I have ever seen. What an idiot.

How long until iowa puts out some lame excuse that they did this under the guise of "safety"
Probably thought this was a way to deflect not firing Brian today. He’s such a *******.
Wouldn't it be fun to have Hy-Vee deliver a few cases of sodie to Barta's office?
Those team's ADs aren't complete PR idiots. This will not look good ANYWHERE. And it will be everywhere.
Maybe they need to send a letter to each big 10 AD warning them.
You are forgetting one thing. The hoks don't pay their bills...even after losing a lawsuit.
So...... Why shouldn't they sell tickets to opposing teams' fans? We have to put up with Kansas idiots all the time. If you don't want the orange crush showing up, get one of your big boosters to buy up the excess tickets or something. Don't whimp out and do what you just did. Idiot.
