Saw this just got posted in the Iowa Hoops thread but felt it deserved its own. If Pollard ever did this I would be disappointed.
There was no reason to punish the poor Boys and Girls Club of Cedar Rapids in response to thisI know for certain the Boys and Girls Club will be in attendance now thanks to Gary Barta
Plus donated =/= positive of attendance.The Illinois one? Youre positive no one from Illinois one was coming.
Or it’s not staff mostly that gets the tickets.Plus donated =/= positive of attendance.
So in summary, Barta:
1. Found out the loser Illinois fans lied about being a charity to get cheap tickets
2. Cancelled their fraudulent tickets, keeping them out of Carver this weekend
3. Baited them into making a public statement about it
4. Immediately showed the receipts AND helped out a REAL Iowa charity instead
Barta sucks, but pulled off a masterclass tonight

how is this any different than the guy who went on social media from Texas Tech to buy up all the available tickets to the away game at Texas last year? Longhorns didn't care.
This is quite pathetic.
Weird. You both have the same "profile photo" and are both checking this out story at the same time.I don't Twitter just FB. I hate social media for the most part.
Do you think the iowa city cops will charge barta for child abuse for making the boys and girls watch the dumpster fire that is iowa basketball? Especially if coach beaker blows his top at the refs and gets yet another T?I know for certain the Boys and Girls Club will be in attendance now thanks to Gary Barta
200???I’ve bought tickets through other ADs for away games. Not sure what the problem is.
I grabbed my photo off Google images ages ago. I'd imagine many have done the same. I hadn't even heard about this story until browsing this site.Weird. You both have the same "profile photo" and are both checking this out story at the same time.
Read part of the article, just can’t get passed the part that they let “State Farm interns” buy 150 tickets. A company isn’t giving that responsibility to interns lolMost Big 10 schools have taken action to stop it. Iowa hasn't for whatever reason. Look at the Krush's Wikipedia page. Here is a story about it:. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/wisch-my-orange-krush-adventure-to-evanston/
I agree it is crappy on Iowa's part to cancel it just now.
Are you serious? Making fun of someone's mental health issues is deplorable.I wonder how poor Patrick Mac will handle this situation? This added stress may be too much for his fragile self to take.
