It’s the nation’s number two ranked party school, and the “contract between Anheuser-Busch and Learfield Communications Inc. — the sports-marketing company representing the (Iowa) Hawkeye Athletics Department — allows Anheuser-Busch to use the Tigerhawk logo in advertising.” But Iowa’s president sees the bright side.
“It’s a mixed bag of news,” she said. “No one I think enjoys seeing their school on a party-school list, but by the same token, once you read through what the Princeton Review has written, it’s hard to deny that these are some of the very same things that we pride ourselves on — making a large Big Ten school feel very at ease and at home for students and creating an environment where students feel like they are getting a great education for a great price.”
Nothing like the booze-soaked atmosphere of UI to make you feel at home.

Nothing like getting in bed with a brewery while at the same time wringing one’s hands helpless at the number of UI students who indulge in binge drinking and underage drinking. President Mason is an embarrassment to the University of Iowa. Which I guess proves that it’s not just male administrators who let athletic departments and the almighty dollar lead them around by their gonads.

Facepalm all around.
Grad student at UI here. Just going to retreat back to my little corner of the university where half of us don’t understand how football works and the half that does doesn’t care about football anyway.
