Saturday’s 45th meeting between Iowa and Northern Iowa in Des Moines could be the last one in a series that dates back to 1907. Iowa officials announced last summer that this year’s Hy-Vee Classic would be the final one, citing an increase to a 20-game Big Ten schedule.

Panther head coach Ben Jacobson says there have been no discussions about resuming the series down the road.

Saturday’s contest between the Hawkeyes and the Panthers follows the battle between Iowa State and Drake.
