Their program is set back. That’s the problem.
Doyle should be gone and there is no way in hell Kirk didn’t see this behavior on a daily basis. I hope the players in his program get a heartfelt apology from him. God knows Barta won’t take action and I’m not sure what the NCAA can do.

Great, another person who thinks we need more burning. Maybe Iowa football will do their part and burn the contracts of a couple overpaid coaches.

Hawkeye report is an ugly, ugly place right now. It's not even schadenfreude, anymore. So many players coming forward, and so many fans responding with vitriol. Certainly, Iowa will not be the last program to have stories like this come out, or fans who will close their eyes and ears to it, but it's still disheartening to see occur.
I opened up this conversation on another forum. Broader sense but using the voices of Iowa players as examples. One comment I got was essentially this is what happens when you treat college athletes like indentured servants. It’s something to consider. Right now it’s threats of you show up to work or you’re gone and for a small portion of “student” athletes the “student” part is a complete joke. I don’t have the answer but the current set up isn’t it.

Unless more and more players come forward saying KF was just as bad.
A lot of players have already put some blame on KF and have said it was how the entire program was every day from the moment you walked into the building. So if KF escapes this, that isn't really justice.... or even really fixing the problem possibly?
Now what if a bunch of high profile former black players come forward and defend KF and Doyle? That could potentially help KF's case at least. But right now the silence of anyone defending KF or Doyle is saying a lot.
If at least Doyle isn't gone, I'd be concerned about protesters vandalizing Kinnick or the football facility at this point. I guess they vandalized the Pentecrest last night.
This definitely isn’t an issue/problem that Barta is well equipped to handle considering his history of blunders.
It’s bad when the star players start talking. Some of them you can mark up to not getting playing time but when the star players start saying bad stuff. It’s bad. That’s what is happening. Wadley and the rest of the starters are all chiming in.
Clean house. At this point, there is no damage control that could possibly make any player of color comfortable stepping foot in that program.
Ferentz doesn’t have a boss. There’s no one who can fire him other than the board of regents and he’d have to do something really bad for that to happen. Doyle will end up with with an award that Kirk gives him as a big f u to the haters. He’s in charge and everyone will know it.

That's got to be a worry, and something Hawk fans need to realize. Regardless of if these allegations can be proven, the very fact that they exist is going to be used against the program. Every single school going up against Iowa for a recruit is going to bring this up. That's going to happen if Doyle is let go or not. As long as Kirk is there, this is going to be used against them.
