visiting team is in a pink locker room for a couple hours tops. Iowa always has a pink locker room. Who is really gay in all that?

It is the reason why some U of I professors want it painted differently. Apparently, it is homophobic.and sexist.
Iowa professor protesting pink locker room
Kembrew McLeod is organizing what he jokingly calls a "Million Robot March" to coincide with an annual celebration Friday honoring legendary Iowa football coach Hayden Fry, who had the opposing team's locker room painted pink in 1979. McLeod wants the school to ditch the pink, which he says amounts to a school-sanctioned taunt that exudes homophobia and sexism.
and later in the article
Some feminists, lawyers, gay rights activists and editorial boards have criticized the gimmick over the past decade. But previous protests, including a longstanding threat of a discrimination lawsuit, haven't changed anything.
Fans have generally opposed the various efforts to get the color changed, saying it's a tradition that isn't meant to be a gender-based putdown.
McLeod, a communications studies professor, hopes his absurd approach will draw attention to the issue. He said people dressed as robots will meet on top of a hotel parking garage, and then march through FryFest, an annual event that draws up to 20,000 Hawkeye fans. They plan to hold signs and chant slogans such as, "Binary code yes! Gender binaries no!" and "Delete the pink locker rooms!"
