The Iowa/Iowa State game pretty much shuts down the state, even in years when neither team is worth squat. My sister has a mixed marriage. She is (correctly) a Hawkeye and her husband is a cyclone. The result is a HUGE weekend.
One thing, if you don't already have season tickets at ISU, you really aren't getting tickets to the game, so it really is just about the tailgating. And if they have round 3 over 2 days, they're not having that many parties each day. So I still contend they can get all the rush events done plenty early, at least for the girls to get their party on in Iowa City, without any trouble. For the cheerleaders, poms, etc., there probably aren't enough of them in any given chapter to negatively impact them, and I'm not sure that freshmen would be traveling with those teams. Does anyone know if freshmen cheerleaders would already be going to away games? When do they make the team? But marching band is a different story.
I concur that the timing is bad at best and potentially deadly for several girls, where rush applies anyway. I think the slightly delayed rush is working at Iowa, but they have to be more in tune with the school schedule!
