Iowa women's basketball holds steady in AP Top 25 rankings

After a 2-1 start to the 2026-27 Iowa women's basketball season, where do the Hawkeyes rank in the Nov. 9 update to the AP Top 25 poll ? Iowa stayed put at No. 10 nationally. UCLA is also ranked 10th nationally with an identical 469 points from AP voters. The Hawkeyes began the campaign with two dominant wins over Towson (73-45) and Eastern Illinois (80-39) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena before suffering its first loss of the year on the road at UConn (91-79). Although Iowa fell victim to a career-high 39-point performance by UConn's Sarah Strong on Sunday, the Hawkeyes' perseverance and continued fight throughout the game made the defeat a learning experience. It also meant the voters didn't punish Iowa.

University of Iowa drops plans for new cancer center

IOWA CITY — Two years after the Board of Regents gave the go-ahead to build a new state-of-the-art cancer research facility , the University of Iowa has changed course and instead is pursuing a smaller-scale project to build out shelled space for cancer research in its new College of Pharmacy Building. “Because of projected budget constraints, the standalone building is not advancing at this time,” UI officials said in new board documents seeking approval for the pared-down proposal. “The university is instead evaluating opportunities to provide cancer-focused and other research space within existing facilities across the health sciences campus.” Specifically, the university wants to spend $13 million building out unfinished space on the sixth floor of the new College of Pharmacy Building — which opened in 2020 — for “cancer-focused research programs” in the form of “flexible laboratories, shared support spaces, research equipment, and collaboration areas.” New Board of Regents documents report nearly 70% of that $13 million price tag — or about $9 million — will come from interest earned on an endowment created through the university’s 2020 public-private partnership for the operation of its utility system. That is triple the amount of P3 funding UI officials said the

Johnson County Conservation settles open meetings lawsuit

The Johnson County Conservation Board has settled with the estate of former conservation director Larry Gullet and former operations superintendent Wade Schultz over an open records dispute. The lawsuit was filed by Gullett's widow, Connie Gullett, and Schultz over records from closed sessions held by the conservation board in 2024 that allegedly discussed "specific law enforcement matters," concerning an investigation or audit. A 2025 state audit found that Johnson County Conservation misused or misappropriated more than $90,000 in funds between 2019 and 2024. The report specifically mentioned two Johnson County employees − Schultz and Gullet, who were placed on immediate administrative leave on June 6, 2024. Larry Gullet died in September 2024 , and the lawsuit was filed by his widow on his behalf, according to court filings.

F-86 fighter jet staying grounded at Iowa City Airport

IOWA CITY — A plane that’s always greeted visitors at the Iowa City Airport underwent a big makeover thanks to dedicated veterans in the area. For the last several decades, a North American F-86 Sabre jet has sat at the entrance to the airport, sad Bob Dane, coordinator for the Save the Sabre committee. The jet has been there for years, intended as a memorial for veterans. Every 10 years or so, the jet needs work done on the body; a new paint job, rust buffed out. The care is the responsibility of the Iowa City Airport, Dane said, but with costs rising everywhere, it wasn’t a high priority. “They actually have a line item in the Airport Commission budget for maintenance and upkeep of the plane, but it’s probably Item 30, and they run out of money about 23,” he said. In March, the airport commission sent out an email to local veterans groups, and local airports, asking if anyone would like to take over the care of the plane. The Clinton Municipal Airport responded, and was willing to pay for the shipping of the plane, and any care it may need going forward. A video went viral on

Hawkeyes Look to Take Care of Business Against Purdue

The Hawkeyes are riding a minor heater. Can they continue the trend as they return home to take on the Boilermakers?. That road trip could not have gone much better. Iowa walked into the shiny, new home of the Northwestern Wildcats, Ryan Field, on Saturday night and decided to do some redecorating. The Hawkeye defense sacked Nicco Marchiol six times and held the Wildcats to 1-of-11 on third down. L.J. Phillips Jr. ran for a career-best 128 yards in his first start and Braeden Jackson housed a kickoff 96 yards for his second return touchdown of the season. Iowa walked out with a 24-10 win that never felt that close, making it five straight over Northwestern.
