Illinois' attempt to get 200 students into Saturday's game against Iowa were thwarted when university officials said a group purchased the tickets by posing as a Boys and Girls Club.
A rivalry game between theand the Illinois Fighting Illini this weekend has taken an interesting turn after the Hawkeyes announced Wednesday that they canceled 200 tickets purchased by Illinois’ student section after claiming that they were falsely purchased"on behalf" of a local Boys and Girls Club.
"Any organization cannot realistically withstand losing one-fifth of its yearly budget, and we are no different. This means that, financially, we cannot afford to pivot to another destination, even if there were sufficiently available tickets." "The Iowa Athletics Department became aware of a discounted group ticket order for the Iowa-Illinois men’s basketball game on behalf of an Illinois chapter of the Boys and Girls Club. In following up with that organization, it became clear this was not factual. When contacting the individual who made the original ticket order, they admitted to falsely ordering tickets under the non-profit organization," the statement read.
