(Radio Iowa) — Upper Iowa’s football season opener will now be September 12th at Concordia University in St. Paul. The move comes after NCAA Division II approved a 10 game schedule for the upcoming season. The Peacocks original opener against Minnesota-Duluth has been moved to the end of the season.
That’s Upper Iowa coach Jason Hoskins, who says the change means they will not play all the other teams in the south division.
Hoskins says they are thrilled to have a season to prepare for.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa has announced a pause in ticket sales for the upcoming football season. Athletic director Gary Barta says ticket sales are paused until there is a clearer picture of what Kinnick Stadium will look like for the September fifth season opener against UNI.
That was Barta in May discussing options. Only season ticket holders who have renewed by June 30 will be included in potential seating plans. Barta says they are looking at several reduced seating models.
Barta says they hope to finalize a seating model by late July.
The Hawkeye Express, which has provided fans train transportation from a satellite parking lot in Coralville to Kinnick Stadium since 2006, will not be operational for the 2020 football season because of the potential of reduced capacity. Fans who had purchased tickets for the Hawkeye Express will have an opportunity for a refund or credit toward other parking options

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
UNDATED (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox would have had one of their rare regular-season series this week. They have met in four different World Series. They would have played a three-game series at Fenway Park this week if not for the coronavirus pandemic. There also would have been a College World Series title won in Omaha, Nebraska. It would have been the best-of-three championship series for the NCAA baseball title. The NBA and NHL drafts also had been scheduled this week.
NEW YORK (AP) — An email from baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred to union head Tony Clark led to a balk in the drawn-out talks to start the pandemic-delayed season, which now won’t begin by July 19. The executive committee of the players’ association was set to vote and reject Major League Baseball’s latest offer for a 60-game season. Players want 70 games and are worried that if the 2020 season is cut short, the deal being negotiated would lock in innovations for 2021. Manfred wrote that if fewer than the agreed-upon number of games are played, the 2021 changes would be voided.
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Webb Simpson is a winner on Father’s Day again, just not at the U.S. Open. The father of five ran off five birdies in a six-hole stretch on the back nine in a 7-under 64 and won the RBC Heritage with a record score. Simpson won by one shot over Abraham Ancer. His score of 22-under 262 beats by two shots the tournament record set 11 years ago. Simpson won the U.S. Open in 2012 at Olympic Club. This was supposed to be U.S. Open week, but the COVID-19 pandemic postponed that until September. Simpson won for the second time this year.
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Thunderstorms Sunday forced NASCAR to postpone the Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway that was to mark the return of more fans to the track. The race, which was pushed back to 2 p.m. CDT on Monday, is the first amid the coronavirus pandemic in which NASCAR opened the gates for up to 5,000 fans. The event was stopped several times for more than three hours of total delays.
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — NASCAR says a noose was found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace on Sunday at the NASCAR race in Talladega, Alabama. Wallace is the only full-time Black driver in NASCAR’s elite Cup Series. Two weeks ago, he successfully pushed for NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag at its tracks and properties. NASCAR says it has launched an immediate investigation into the noose. The series says it is “outraged” and says there is no place for racism in NASCAR.
UNDATED (AP) — Having secured a victory in the Belmont Stakes, Tiz the Law now faces an 11-week wait until the Kentucky Derby in a reconfigured Triple Crown series. In between, the bay colt, who became the first New York-bred to win the Belmont since 1882, is being pointed toward the Travers on Aug. 8 in upstate New York, which is his home turf. Tiz the Law has five wins in six career starts by an average of 19 1/4 lengths. His only loss came at Churchill Downs last year, and he’ll get a chance to avenge it over the same track in the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5.
UNDATED (AP) — American universities have begun the process of playing sports through a pandemic. SMU is having its athletes put a signature on a waiver, acknowledging the risks for COVID-19. Ohio State and Missouri have pledges they are requiring athletes or their parents to sign before the players can take part in voluntary workouts. Legal experts say athletes may be signing away some of their rights.
IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa women’s basketball associate head coach Jan Jensen is one of five 2020 LGBTQ Legacy Leader Award honorees, dsm magazine and One Iowa Leadership Institute announced on Thursday.
The award is given to Iowans that make an impact in their communities and have persevered despite prejudice.
Jensen earned the honor due to her involvement with the United Way of Johnson County, the Shelter House of Iowa City, and leadership and team-building speeches across the state.
“[Jensen] has been a great mentor to the women on our team and the rest of the athletic department,” Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder said “She has been a sounding board and an ally to many of her peers and student-athletes. Her leadership is unparalleled.”
