Kind of like how most of the Iowa players telling their stories are defending Kirk Ferentz, talking about how he “gets it” and truly cares about his players, and then you have one player claiming that Ferentz made him log roll for no reason at all until he puked blood, and spit at him for listening to rap music?

Did Rhabo occur again? It did just not at Iowa. I am not saying racist behavior is ok. Not in any way shape or form. An investigation will take place and we will see if the people behind tweets will show the things they feel are racist or if an independent group see’s it otherwise.
Thank go though that the people who really know what has occurred are isu fans.
This x1000
it was 1 player... Her accusations were heard and taken into account and the overwhelming support from other black players was so much that it went nowhere..
wity KF this is a systemic culture of himself and his program for 22 years. Not 1 incident....clearly.
I was kinda on the “fire Doyle” and let program reset but more that keeps coming out it gets deeper and worse..
It's times like these that the administration at Iowa has to be really annoyed they're a public institution and not private like Baylor. There isn't a private school rug they can sweep this under. Iowa's PR history coupled with the severity of claims against them and the current national landscape....this is going to be a bigger mess than anyone could imagine. And I take zero joy in any of it. I hate the Hawks but I'm an Iowan too. This whole thing saddens and angers me.
I’ve already discussed this. We have no idea if the players he is referencing are scholarship players or walk-ons. If they were fellow walk-ons, I would tend to think that you may be right. But I am guessing that they were scholarship players, and the player sharing his story was treated differently because he was a walk-on. Ferentz has kicked multiple white walk-ons off the team for rather minor transgressions before.
No you are not right. Let’s see what the investigation comes back with and then you and all other clone fans can have at it.
Kirk's biggest role in all of this is knowing and not doing anything. JoPa never touched any kids, Art Briles never raped anyone but both knew what was going on and let it continue, tried to keep it quiet for the good of the program and their own asses. KF is in the same boat, he enabled this to happen. He made the decision to sweep things under the rug, now he's going to have to own that decision.
Because paying her $60k to go away is cheaper than the lawyers and the bad publicity?
The settlement was only for $60000. It would have cost far more than that to continue to fight it in court. There was no admission of wrongdoing. If the claim was legit, Moody wouldn't have settled for so little.
Where were any of you calling out any Iowa fans in the last 15 years when they called out team a "bunch of thugs?" Code for u know what.......
Now I see all the Iowa fans and a lot of people on here saying " how terrible, can't believe they said this, how uncomfortable, etc.". Did any of you call out Iowa fans in the last 15 years for racist comments? Did any of our journalists in this state comment on Iowa fans' comments about our players?
Sorry - I see a lot of past due, disingenuous billshit here. They have always been above the law here. Where have we/journalists been - we took it? I didn't take it one-on-one - wish I did more.

I'm picturing GarBar on the floor in his basement in the fetal position right now. He isn't cut out for this. Gonna be hard to blame this on ISU like the locker room theft and band incident. Our AD should probably send a letter out to all the hawk opponents warning them of the of the culture over there.
Also a point of notice: Fennelly was dropped from the lawsuit very quickly after it was filed.
Did you think that Paterno should keep his job as well? Joe Pa didn’t actually do any of those things...it was Sandusky. Yet Joe Pa was likely aware and choose to do nothing about it until it came to light. Sound familiar?
