A Big Ten matchup between Iowa and Illinois has started generating buzz for more than what’s at stake in the conference standings.
In its original statement, posted to the student section’s Twitter page Wednesday night, the Orange Krush said that it originally received the tickets via mail in October and cited the billing address of Champaign, Illinois as a reason for Iowa’s last-second pivot. The group also stated that the students attending needed to fundraise in order to be included, leading to a total of $2,649.41 compiled.
The student section couldn’t receive a refund for its buses because the game is just three days away. That meant Orange Krush will lose $6,000 of its $30,0000 annual budget, according to its statement.“We take it as a great compliment that the Orange Krush is a strong enough section to be so feared that an opposing athletic department is willing to sacrifice $5,400 and ruin a sellout in order to turn us away,” the student section’s lengthy statement read.
“ Gary Barta and staff, we issue great thanks to all of you for the adoration you have shown the Orange Krush through your cowardice.” Illinois holds a slim advantage over Iowa in the conference standings as the calendar flips to February, though only Illinois received votes in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll. It’s the lone meeting of the season between the two teams, unless they meet again in the Big Ten tournament next month.
