SIAP. From article:

“This whole thing will probably be settled by about (Thursday) afternoon,†McCaffery said. “We’re working towards a solution that’s amenable to everybody.


“We’ll probably play them sometime next week.â€


It’s assumed the game will take place Feb. 27, the only real workable date between the schools but nothing is official.

As long as they move the Iowa games against Purdue back to Sunday March 2nd this is the best possible deal Iowa was going to get. Go out and win 4 games in a little over a week and make a statement. The games will be there to be won and this team will go out and take them.
 
Common Hawks - blow em out of their **** hole death trap, and then, run up the score. I really hope the guys are motivated to crush these homers.

This would be a good middle ground, I guess, but I don't know if you can just "move" the Purdue game to 3/2. I think it might have been one of the "flex" games earlier in the year (like Illinois), but once it's set I don't know if it can be moved. I guess the game is televised on BTN, so maybe the league can make it work.
 
If I had any say on Iowa's behalf, which I obviously dont, Id push for the game on Friday the 28th at 6pm EST(5pm CST) and have the Purdue game pushed to March 2.

Sure they can move it with this much notice. That is why every ticket has that little disclaimer on it that says "Date and Time of Game are Subject to Change".

Here is that weekends schedule:

Saturday 3/1:

Illinois @ MSU 3PM on ESPN

NU @ UNL 4PM on ESPNU

Minnesota @ Michigan 5PM on BTN

Iowa @ Purdue 7:15PM on BTN

Sunday 3/2:

Ohio State @ Indiana TBD

Wisconsin @ PSU 11 AM on BTN


They could just flip the Iowa/Purdue game and Wisky/PSU games. Wisky plays Tuesday and Sunday that week and PSU has a midweek bye before their Sunday game against the Badgers.
 
Three games, including two on the road, in a 5 day period.

Unfair to the Hawkeyes.
I should wait till an announcement, but anything less of a favorable outcome for Iowa blows. Indiana had an opportunity to get this game doen this week and kicked the can. I could understand if the delay was weather related beyond their control. But we could have played WED or at a 'neutral' facility.

Actually they can't move the Purdue game to the 2nd. My kids are getting baptized that day.
 
Wisconsin - Plenty of time to prepare and should win

@ Minnesota - Changes don't impact this game...should win

@ Indiana - Prep already done and deeper rotation...should win

Purdue - Home game and PU's only road win was at IL...should win

@ Michigan State - Plenty of time to rest and prepare

I don't see this schedule negatively impacting us...benefits us against Indiana IMO.
 
How about just tell IU they can just call the rest of the season off because they are going to finish in last anyway? Just like when they couldn't beat us even when the Lick was coach. We finished in 10th, they were 11th. Nimrods.
