Illini Fans Are Stirring The Pot
- Thread starter Fran-Con-2
- Start date
They've always been a**holes when they travel in bulk to Carver.
It's just varied over the years as they were down for a solid decade.
There were plenty of threads on here back in the 2000s about Illinois fan behavior at Carver and them "invading" our arena.
I am personally fine with how this has played out.
The year they were #1, the number of insufferable assholes from Illinois at carver was almost unbearable. Worst fans I’ve ever encountered
So the Krush have bragged about "invading" other teams arenas as we saw during the Lick era. So an opposing school catches on to their ruse and how they lied about being a boys and girls club and puts a stop to it. Now they act like the kid who got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and are acting like the victim because they got their hand slapped. As mentioned by another poster I think they thought they were going to get pity and look like the poor innocent victim but didn't anticipate Iowa firing back to why they did what they did.
Because I am sure your athl department wouldnt sell them tickets otherwise?
Well, either way, no matter what side you are on, it appears from what I am hearing on Sports Talk radio that the Krush is getting CRUSHED in the court of public opinion.
They are supposedly a 501 (c)(3) - that does not mean they are a charitable organization.
They have raised millions of dollars over decades…
Show me reports and I'll believe. I'm guessing you may be off by just a bit here.

also, the krush bought tickets under the standard discounted group rates. There was no discount related to them being a charitable organization.
Millions to local charities? Have you completely gone wacko? You are really starting to sound stupid if you believe that PR piece. An article written by a friendly reporter isn't fact. Remember this is the group the LIED to get the tickets. I don't think they are above lying about other things !

They could have bought 200 tickets from the jump without having to pretend to be a charitable organization to get the discount. Is this really that hard? They lied and got caught, f***ing slimeballs.
They have donated close to 3 million dollars over 25 years so yes that is correct.
Which......they only got that group rate because of who they claimed to be. Seriously, how do you defend this stuff?Orange Krush Foundation Awards Annual Charitable Grants - University of Illinois Athletics

They are a charitable organization. They got a standard group rate discount that had nothing to do with being a charitable organization. why Is this hard for You?
$20,000 is not "millions". Yes I'm sure they do plenty of good on campus, misrepresenting who they were as a group was just that - misrepresentation. Spin that any way you want.Orange Krush Foundation Awards Annual Charitable Grants - University of Illinois Athletics

Do you guys lie about everything?
They only got the 200 tickets because they claimed to be the boys and girls club. THEY LIED!!!!! They could have bought the 200 tickets like all the regular people instead of lying, they chose not to. they are pieces of sh**. It's not hard.
Iowa wouldn’t sell them the tickets. This is really about one big ten school keeping fans of another out of their arena. They are a charitable group. There was a standard group discount.
Weird, I called when taking 20 to a game earlier this year to get group tickets to sit together. I was not given a discount, offered a discount, or anything of the such. They pretended to be a charitable org for underprivileged youth. Having lived the better part of 25 years in Chicago now, this is typical behavior and why our state is a shithole.
They lied about being the Boys and Girls Club.
I get that you are a homer and wearing your blue and orange sunglasses while lurking in our boards. But there is no objective justification to lie about being part of a children's charity to buy basketball tickets.
Lies again. Iowa would have sold them 200 tickets had they bought them just like everyone else. They chose to lie to get a discount, there is not a "standard group discount", and I'm not sure why Illinois people keep lying about this. You can get a discount if you are part of something like the Boys and Girls home, but not just for calling and saying you want 40 tickets.
This! I filled out a lot of 501c papers. It does NOT mean you are a charitable organization. You are definitely a non-profit within reason. But, even that is not universal. A 501 c can be charitable or not, but there are far more stipulations to it than what some on here are trying to claim.

Limit 19 tickets per game. Any orders exceeding the set limit maybe reduced or canceled (less fees) and the associated account(s) monitored and/or locked. For group ticket requests of 20 or more, please call 319-467-0689.
This is why I called and was given 20 regular priced tickets. You do not automatically get discounted tickets. You are repeatedly defending pieces of sh**.
True. However, iowa did not lose any revenue here. This was about keeping opposing fans out.
Lame on both sides and they both look dumb right now.
So you really don't know shit. Got it.
You just go ahead defending lying. It just shows you have no morals at all. Pathetic how some keep defending a lying bunch of kids.
They Lied. And you look like a complete ahole by defending them. Just shows what a pathetic person you are!

Yes Iowa did lose revenue. They donated the 200 tickets to a real charity. The Cedar Rapids Boys and Girls Club.
Why? Because your athletic department wants to keep opposing fans out…..otherwise what difference did it make to them?
