A picture of an Iowa State University vehicle parked in front of a Colorado marijuana dispensary has the school’s lacrosse team in trouble. The ISU Lacrosse team lost its travel privileges because of the picture. But their advocate says Iowa state violated the team’s free speech rights. The Lacrosse team was traveling to Colorado Springs for a game. They say they innocently parked there to eat lunch at a nearby restaurant. They say they did not go into the legal dispensary. Zach Greenburg, advocate for the team, says ISU saw the pictures and punished the team when members returned to Ames. ISU rescinded the use of university vehicles for game travel. Greenburg says ISU didn’t even give the Lacrosse team a hearing or ask about the true facts. Greenburg has sent a Feb. 17 deadline for ISU to respond and hopes to fix the issue without litigation, ISU has confirmed they have received the letter.
