Board of regents say no charges in Iowa-ISU band attacks

News, Sports

February 5th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — The president of the Board of Regents, Mike Richards, made a statement to the board today (Wednesday) on the investigation of the claims that members of the University of Iowa band were assaulted during the 2019 Iowa-Iowa State football game. “Following an investigation, it was determined there was not enough evidence available to substantiate the pursuit of any charges,” Richard says. Richards says they will continue working on the issue for the next football season.

“All three university presidents have agreed to work together to review and improve game management policies for games on each of our campuses prior to the start of the fall 2020 semester. These efforts are already underway. Richards says. He says each school has made a commitment to continue to make safety at our games a priority. University of Iowa athletic director Gary Barta got things started with a written statement that said there “inappropriate actions” toward band members and staff and said an investigation was underway.

Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard first said he did not know what the actions were. The two then released a joint statement saying there had been “rude and vulgar” behavior directed at both bands. University of Iowa president Bruce Harreld told the student newspaper that the two universities may have to stop the “Cy-Hawk” game altogether if safety can’t be guaranteed. The two sides eventually worked things out and conducted the investigation.

Atlantic senior Tyler Moen signed his preferred walk-on commitment letter to Iowa State football on Wednesday morning at the Atlantic High School. Surrounded by family members Moen said he felt like this was a great opportunity that he couldn’t pass up.

Moen had a breakout senior season at running back for the Trojans. He set the all-time Atlantic single-season rushing record with 1,909 yards. He ended his career fifth on the Trojans all-time rushing list with 2,427 yards. He nearly set the single game rushing record for the state when he ran for 523 yards on 31 carries in a Week 8 win over Shenandoah. He finished that game with 5 rushing touchdowns and also added two interception returns for touchdowns. Moen finished the year with 25 total touchdowns. He said he had considered other sports at the collegiate level, but it really clicked with him this past Summer that football is what he wanted to continue to play.

Moen said the ISU staff first reached out to him a couple games in to the high school season and he was offered a preferred walk-on spot the first visit he made to campus. Tyler is currently working through a knee injury and hopes he can participate in the track season if recovery goes well. He will head to Ames in June to begin prep for the season.
