Hawk trolls, please just stop. You don't need to defend the Iowa program on a rival's message board. This is a fight you will never win. It's also a fight you don't want to win even if you could.

Public perception of your program is not impacted whatsoever by what is said on a rival's message board of all places. It is impacted a great deal by what current and former players are saying....

You completely missed the point of my post, where I said that DJK's stories before all of this sounded like DJK was a lunatic, but because of all the new information out there, maybe his stories should be listened to. You saying his teammates called him out in the past does not matter when there are teammates now who are standing behind him.

Except a number of his teammates said he was lying when he tried to reveal these stories 7 years ago. DJK’s story detracts from the other players who came forward with their stories of racial inequality.

Which teammates? Besides the four you mentioned earlier.

Let me also say for all of the people who want or expect certain members of the Iowa staff fired, the players brought this up. They are the ones filing the complaints. They are the ones who really have the inside story on everything. And from the sounds of it, Daniels is leading the group of former players with nothing to lose who will evaluate, discuss, and make recommendations.

Like it or not IMO the program belongs to the players and former players. If they come out and decide to not recommend canning anybody, regardless of our personal feelings I think we should support whatever decision they come to.

True. Why do we care anyway? I hate Iowa but they can do what they want with their coaches if the players are given a voice. I'll leave it in their hands. You guys can argue for hours straight with a couple of hawk fans, but I have a life.

When two individuals get cited for the same type of criminal offense and their race is different and their treatment is decidedly different. That is literally the definition of disparate treatment.

When rules are in place that specifically target one race of the team, that's a problem too. Get out of here with the comments that the rules are in place for everyone.

Well said. I don't think the hok trolls are smart enough to take your advice though.

False. I have been clear that Doyle and any other coach with a pattern of racist comments needs to be fired. But Morrow’s tweet claimed that Ferentz suspended him after Doyle told him to go back to the ghetto. Turns out, that didn’t actually happen. Morrow complained to Ferentz because Doyle told him he would “send his ass back to Glenville.” How does that implicate Ferentz? Ferentz says he can’t recall any player complaining to him about Doyle’s use of sending a player back to the “streets” or back to the “ghetto” - THATS BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED.

But he didn't go to Glenville, he went to St. Edward's so saying Glenville (an inner city school) is implying that he is from the ghetto.
 
Former Hawkeye players... you toed the line or playing time, suspensions, and possibly abuse was handed out to you.

BrodieO...but in 2013 no player said it happened that way.

Kkkirk: I don't recall.
