    I heard this same thing a couple of weeks ago from a very good source on the Iowa side of this. The UNI game was termed “doubtful” at that point.

    On a semi-related note, WDM Dowling just cancelled the remainder of their baseball and softball seasons due to a coach testing positive, with some odd rules from the high school athletic association contributing to killing the season. Dowling baseball is ranked #1 in 4A. Dowling’s AD, who also happens to be head football coach, said he thought the odds of starting the high school football season were 50-50 at best given the current association rules around quarantines and timing of a positive test by a team member or coach.

    • The Iowa game would get canceled when UNI has their best team over a decade. That blows.

        this whole pandemic thing is a conspiracy put together by the Hawkinati to prevent the chance of them getting upset by UNI

          This might be the best Iowa team we've matched up with. Would love the paycheck and the test but would prefer to walk away injury-free and without a loss.

            Actually no. New QB, losses of underclassmen to the NFL draft, will have a couple new LBs and DBs. Some good players return, but most Iowa fans aren’t sure what to think of this team. Throw in the Doyle related stuff, and the upcoming Iowa season is an unknown.

            • And now it's official. Big 10 is playing conference only for all fall sports.

                • They'll do anything to get out of playing UNI

                  (I'm kidding)
                  Winning is more fun than losing.

                    Is that what he said iowa fan? They are the single most overhyped and overrated program that’s ever played college football so spare us. They’ve dodged several bullets with UNI as have the clowns over the years. They have plenty of problems alright. Finally getting one shoved up their chicken beak this fall would have been yet another one

                      • I assume this will have a cascading effect with other conferences, wondering how far down it'll go, ie., how long until the MVFC goes conference only?

                        • It sucks for everyone involved. It would seem (on paper) UNI would have had as good as chance as ever to finally get a W.

                          Oh well. Hopefully there is some sort of financial compensation for UNI. A very slight possibility, but is better than zero since both schools roll up to BOR. Talk about salt in a wound to the UNI AD budget.

                          • saves the Iowa fans the confusion of playing both UNI and NIU in the same season

                              $650,000 loss for UNI athletics for not having Iowa game.
