Wells Fargo Arena Tourny

[Matt Trump]

I had that same question UNIpanther99. I think you can as I believe that the HY-Vee room is inside the Arena. Does anyone know for sure? Since we would already be in the house, I wanted to take a sneak peak at Drake's 2005-06 BB team.

Reed dosen't think that the Hy-Vee room is in the arena. Regardless of where it is, Reed knows that the complex is all connected by skywalks so access shouldn't be a problem for Reed and Reed's peeps.

OTP thinks Reed has this down to a science. OTP congratulates Reed on a job well done.

Drake will tip off at 4PM, and the gathering starts at 5PM. So you can see both, I believe.

B2B likes what he hears, see you there.

Can recruits attend these if the coaches are there. I don't think they can have contact away from Campus, is that correct?

As long as it's not pre-arranged, I don't think there is any problem with this. I'm not for sure, but I think that Eglseder was at last year's NCAA tourney party. It wan't like someone was paying for his drinks or eats...he paid for it all (if it cost anything at all). You might want to check with the coach(es) though.

AMEN to checking with the athletic department. Far better to be safe on these types of things. Common sense and the NCAA do not go hand in hand. Otherwise how could you explain the Georgia fans raising money to bring home the dad of an opposing teams player to see the game at Georgia. They were told that would not meet NCAA rules. Or the kid from Colorado who needed endorcement money to continue training for the Olympics but was told he couldn't play football if he accepted money for participating in another sport.

Here's the deal with the tickets. My buddy just got off the phone with someone from the Iowa Events Center. There are only 1000 tickets available through them. The reason for such low numbers is that they aren't opening up the top sections of the arena (basically 1/3 of the arena!). I recommend getting these tickets, b/c the max number of people will not be 17,000...but around 10K. For the Cyclone Challenge, they are opening up both top and bottom. I recommend you get your tickets now, b/c with only 1000 tickets left, and no more opening up (which I have a hard time believing they won't if there is demand), and the game being 4 weeks away, the tickets will go.
