The University of Illinois’s student cheering section is apologizing after controversy erupted over its attempt to buy a block of tickets for Saturday’s game at Iowa.
The Orange Krush organization complained on social media that it had purchased the tickets, but then the University of Iowa rescinded the ticket purchase.
But Iowa responded that the group had bought the tickets under false pretenses – claiming to represent the Boys and Girls Club.
Orange Krush now admits that it showed poor judgment, and should not have placed blame on Iowa officials for the dispute.
