AMES, Iowa - Iowa State University's director of athletics said that University of Iowa officials had given the school little to no information about allegations of "inappropriate actions" against the Hawkeye Marching Band during Saturday's football game in Ames.
Jamie Pollard said the school is ready to help Iowa investigate the claims, but has not been given details about what, or when, things happened.
He said that none of the police officers that escorted the band during Saturday's clash between in-state football rivals reported anything unusual and emphasized the school's willingness to help and urged University of Iowa officials to reach out to him and his staff with more information.
University of Iowa athletic director Gary Barta issued the statement on Monday, saying that band members were subjected to "inappropriate actions" but did not elaborate on what had occurred.
Pollard said that this weekend's alleged incident would not deter the school from allowing the Iowa marching band to attend the game in the future.
