Iowa BB - All-time **** and Vinegar Team

Ha. Actually it was more than just a little scuffle on the ped mall. Several players from both teams were involved, and IIRC the basketball team was ranked No. 1 and the wrestling team No. 2, or vice versa. My recollection is that the wrestlers ended up having to run into a club or some establishment for protection. The basketball team, as I recall, had some guys who could fend for themselves, Eddie chief among them.

I was a reporter at the time and assigned to get quotes from Tom Davis. He pretty much laughed it off and the athletic department generally swept it under the rug. Don't think there were ever any repercussions, at least any announced publicly.

I've wondered how a similar incident would be handled today.
Great question ...
 
It would be handled by an elite group of eco-friendly Iowa City swat team officers.
