And now the female is asking if this is a cultural problem?

FFS

This one, and the guy who asked WHY do we even have to have a CY-Hawk game are indicative of the spin that Hawkeye friendly media wanted out of this whole thing since last week.

There are parties over there that want the series to end and will use any pretext to make that case. I will be generous and say Barta is not actually among them. The issue with that guy is that he is a total bumble ****.

Hawk media made this story out of some random social media whoppers because they like the clicks they get from trashing on ISU but they didn't play things out and now the UI is getting slapped hard for entertaining it. I say good.

I have yet to figure out who the victim is.

The ISU fans that were pushed in the back by the UI marching band and also subject to loud obnoxious unnecessary music and heckling from point blank range after a game was long over.

My take away from this, based on facts present. Is the behavior of UI marching band needs investigated.

From witnessing such things in Kinnick, it is usually of a groping variety.

Groping the young women in the band on the chest, crotch, and backside.

All that being unwanted contact of a sexual nature so... sexual assault.

This, however, is different than what people have been alleging online, that a group of ISU fans cornered an Iowa band member and sexually assaulted her.

That allegation seems rather implausible to me though, in a stadium with tens of thousands of fans.

Its comical how Pollard is just blaming the victims here. Iowa not leaving the right exit doesn't condone the actions of the Cyclone fans.
The comedy is how Iowa has handled this whole thing. And, absolutely, the band should be held accountable for doing something 'against' advice AND 'pushing' through the crowd. It's comical how you can not admit how just plain stupid the Iowa bands actions were.

And we need to warn the Big 10 schools and hok non-con opponents to watch out for the U of I band's despicable abusive abhorrent behavior.

From hearing and seeing this, it seems to me that the Iowa State Administration was ready to lay out the facts of this whole predicament. They didn't beat around the bush, rather they provided everyone that wanted to know all of the information they had. That is exactly how it should have been done.

Jamie Pollard told everyone that the Iowa band didn't follow their protocol because it seems that's what the band did. If their band had directions to follow because of safety concerns for their band and also for fans, then why would saying they didn't follow them be wrong of Jamie Pollard to do?

And some band dumbass that got yelled at by security when they tried to get access to the Cyclone locker room was actually listed among the allegations forwarded by the U of I.

You ever have to write a five page paper but only have material for 3.5?

JP was pretty much begging them to ask about the evidence he had. So telling that they didn't.

I'm late to the party. Has that video been released?

Let's rub their face in this ****. These weak charges are on the EPSN crawl all weekend.

Damage our reputation? Pay the price.
There is video.....Pollard has the only copy on his pesonall thumb drive. It clearly shows the band marching into a crowd and not stopping. If TOE steps out of line and goes back to the media again, it will somehow show up on cyclone fanatic.
