(Iowa City, IA) -- The Orange Krush, the Illinois student spirit group who falsely claimed they were an Illinois chapter of the Boys and Girls Club, has issued an apology.
The Iowa Athletic Department voided 200 tickets to the group, who planned on going to the men’s basketball game in Iowa City Saturday.
In a statement from the Orange Krush, they say misrepresenting the group as another charitable organization was "poor judgement."
Iowa refunded the group the money they paid for the 200 tickets, donating the tickets to the Cedar Rapids Boys and Girls Club.
