The long standing football rivalry between the University of Iowa and Wisconsin was finally recognized beginning in 2004. The winner of the annual football game between the schools is awarded the Heartland Trophy. Wisconsin ... has a major non-conference basketball rivalry with Marquette University, located in Milwaukee.

A University of Iowa poll released Monday shows that Mitt Romney continues to be the leading GOP presidential candidate among likely voters in that state's first-in-the-nation party caucuses on Jan. 3. Among Democrats, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York is the favorite, according to the poll, closely followed by Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. "It's clear Romney is the one to beat in Iowa," said DAVID REDLAWSK, Hawkeye Poll director and a political science professor at the University of Iowa. "His support is now nearly triple his nearest competitor. He leads among all demographic groups, including religious conservatives, and is especially strong among the older voters, who tend to be most likely to attend a caucus."

Research published last year by the University of Iowa may have identified a crucial link between heart disease and obesity. Scientists found that fat cells around the coronary arteries release chemicals that could trigger inflammation, leading to deterioration of the vessels. LYNN STOLL, the lead researcher, said, "The fat cells surrounding coronary arteries may ultimately prove to be an important link between obesity, type 2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease, all of which are increasing at epidemic rates."
