Randy Pete needs to take note of the great question CW just asked about if ISU band will be going to Iowa City next year.

What was Pollard's response to that question? It kind of feels like the simplest solution going forward would be to just not have the bands travel for the series anymore. They're easy targets in both IC and Ames, especially if they're not following suggested directions and provoking the home crowd.

Makes me wonder what the story will be next year after the CyHawk game if there is a story with how the ISU band gets treated as there definitely will be a heightened awareness and likely people proactively documenting and taking video of anything that possibly happens.

Something along the line of he hopes the ISU band goes because the marching bands are a big part of the colligate atmosphere and he is a big fan of that.
