Tell you what, if you are Iowa or Okie State...it is almost like the perfect time for this crap to pop up. Right now, there is a new big story to cover every 15 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That last statement too flat out telling recruits not to come to Iowa. Damn. It's Iowa. I'd actually be shocked if Ferentz ever 'stepped down' or if anything happens to him at all. I'm sure they've wrapped up their investigation stopping at Chris Doyle. Nothing else to see here.

Doyle got his cash to shut up...it was a smart move by Iowa because they didn't need/want that moron talking more Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 "I felt like playing for Iowa Football was a living nightmare. I never drank alcohol prior to going to college but based on my experience there it became the only thing I could rely on it seems and was what I did to cope." "I wish I never played for the Iowa Hawkeyes. I would not encourage any future athletes or parents to send your kid to go play for the Iowa Hawkeyes under that current coaching staff."

deedsker Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That is tough stuff coming from one of their best backs in a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't know if it affects Kirk's timeline or job security, but I'm almost positive it means his son Brian won't be succeeding him. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mike Mcdee Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Heard the sports guys on 1620 talking about this article that is sourced from a Freedom of Information Act request. This looks...not great for our neighbors to the east. Especially since this FoIA request is from a previous study, not from the current investigation into the football team from a law firm in Kansas City. https://www.hawkeyenation.com/features/19-athletic-department-study-showed-serious-racial-bias-in-iowa-football Quote This latest information shows that Ferentz knew well before the June social media storm that Black players felt they were: Expected to conform to White culture Subjected to verbal harassment Targeted for extra drug testing Misled about resources available to them during the recruiting process Subjected to inequitable discipline policies and double standards Misunderstood by both coaches and White player Unsupported in their academic pursuits 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 So Ferentz was straight up lying last month. I bet that went over well. Quote Ferentz read the full report detailing racial inequities in 2019. Based on that, he initiated some changes before last season. “We allowed (student-athletes) to wear hats, earrings, [and hoodies] but what I learned here is there’s a lot more to it,” Ferentz said. “We’ve got to dig deeper, listen better, and act on things that count.” On June 7, Ferentz said that he didn’t recall learning of anything that alarmed him or alerted him to inappropriate treatment of student-athletes in his program prior to Daniels and others speaking out publicly last month. “I think you could argue that (the Iowa Football culture) has been healthy based on results,” the coach said last month. “My responsibility and my charge is to make sure (racism) isn’t prevalent in our program…I would not quantify that as a major issue right now.” Link Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Remember when Brian Ferentz got all pissed because our players were dancing/bouncing pre-game in Iowa city in 2018? Starting to all make sense now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Although the current ones are doing a pretty good job insisting things are better, for what it's worth during voluntary workouts when things are pretty limited. 1 Quote Link to comment
Loebarth Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Wow!! This report is so bad for Iowa. The fact that seemingly all minority players felt isolated and without any support is bad enough but then add in the barrage of slandering and wow!! How does the coaching staff and administrators stay employed after reading this report? Surly, this will hurt Iowa's recruiting, yes? 1 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I've said it once before but my gut said it would take a lot more for Iowa to actually oust Ferentz even as more stories like this one seem to continue. I do hope it starts costing them recruits. Quote Link to comment
