Big Ten football notes: Not all at Iowa tickled pink about decor

The interior decorating of the visiting locker room at Kinnick Stadium is intended to have a calming effect, but the pink walls, toilets, urinals, lockers and carpet are having the opposite effect on the University of Iowa campus.

An adjunct law professor gained attention last week after saying the pink locker room promotes sexism and homophobia.

And when Erin Buzuvis raised the issue last week on her Web site, she drew more than 280 replies. The postings ranged from defending her position to a few anonymous posters threatening her life.
