Cy-Hawk Series Future in Question After Alleged Harassment of Iowa Band

The future of the Cy-Hawk series is in question after Iowa president Bruce Harreld said he wants to see safety measures improved before playing another game.

"I’m not convinced at all that we should play this game again—here or there or anywhere—unless we can protect our fans, our band, and of course our athletes,” Harreld said in an interview with The Daily Iowan, the university's student newspaper.

Harreld's doubt over continuing the Iowa-Iowa State rivalry comes after Iowa band members were allegedly injured during the Sept. 14 game between the two schools at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames.
