UI's footballers, wrestlers rally for Trump

And thus ends a great year in Hawkeye sports.
Wonder why they felt compelled to do that.
I don't care that they endorsed Trump, I do have a problem with the sorts teams as a whole being dragged into this.
As individual students that is fine, but being paraded as reps of the team I think steps across a line.
