Iowa’s athletic department claimed the tickets were bought under a false identity.
Once it found out that the tickets were not purchased on behalf of the Boys and Girls Club and instead from a different organization, Iowa invalidated and refunded the tickets.
“In following up with that organization, it became clear this was not factual,” the statement from the athletic department said. “When contacting the individual who made the original ticket order, they admitted to falsely ordering tickets under the non-profit organization.”The Krush planned the Iowa game as its 20th trip — it has gone on one every season since its inception in 2002 except for the 2020-21 season when fans were limited during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“However, 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 statement continued. “Gary Barta and staff, we issue a great thanks to all of you for the adoration you have shown the Orange Krush through your cowardice.”
