Iowa wants to moves Illinois basketball game because of Orange Bowl
Posted on Dec 07, 2009 by Scott Dochterman.
Iowa officials have asked Big Ten officials to consider moving Iowa’s men’s basketball game against Illinois, which is scheduled for Jan. 5. Iowa’s football team competes against Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl that day.
Iowa Sports Information Director Phil Haddy said the school would like to move the basketball game to another date, if possible. The basketball game is scheduled for 8 p.m., which runs concurrent to the Orange Bowl. Viewership likely would be miniscule for basketball game (on Big Ten Network) against the football game, which airs on Fox.
Iowa’s football opponent, Georgia Tech, has a road basketball game against Georgia that night. There’s no word on whether the Yellow Jackets will ask to move that game.
No decision has been reached.
Michigan State has a similar issue on Jan. 2. Its basketball team plays at Northwestern at 6:30 p.m., while its football team faces Texas Tech in the Alamo Bowl at 7 p.m.
IT WOULD BE SMART TO LET THE SCHEDULE REMAIN UNCHANGED. tHE FEWER PEOPLE WITNESS THIS EMBARESSING TEAM THE BETTER.
I checked with the twelve other fans and they all say don't reschedule.
haha!
I can't believe you could find even 12 people who would want to watch the Iowa hawkeye men's basketball team.
