Indiana University is hopelessly antiquated when it comes to athletics

It wasn't a piece of the scoreboard.

Unistrut Channel is a standardized formed structural system used in the construction and electrical industries for light structural support, often for supporting wiring, plumbing, or mechanical components such as air conditioning or ventilation systems.

From an SI article - 

"Indiana University released a statement saying the piece that fell from the board was an unused unistrut bracket 18 inches in length and just over one pound.

A unistrut is a metal framing system that features a unique weldless connection and is easily adjustable and reusable according to UnistrutStore.com.

"It is believed that the unused piece was left from the original installation of the Daktronics scoreboard, which occurred seven years ago, and the vibration from the crowd and music caused the piece to come loose and fall at halftime of the game," the report said." 

That was some crowd last night. 

Good call on the unistrut!
