There was a thread - it either got deleted or moved to the Cave since I can no longer see it.
They could have just let his contract expire and parted ways. He'd have no grounds to sue then.
Someone expanded on that and said even though his contract was going to expire on July 1, his contract had to be voided by April 1, so they couldn't have voided it.
From Iowa's perspective, this was the best way to avoid a lot of legal trouble, save money, and avoid further information coming to the surface that could put other people's careers in jeopardy.
You still are not completely getting it. They had to void his 2021-2022 contract by April 1 of 2020 so 15 months in advance of that FY beginning.
It isn't anywhere close to be over and as much as Iowa fans want to deflect to what is happening in Stillwater it doesn't change what is happening and what will continue to happen in Iowa City.
Those former players aren't going to be done for awhile. The Brian Ferentz question still looms and as long as both Ferentz are there this will be brought up in recruitment.

My guess is he got 15 months of pay and benefits for the settlement. The benefits are clearly spelled out at 15 months and the pay is real close using his salary of $896,000. That base pay over 15 months is $1,120,000.00.
His contract requires that he gets a 15 month notice if it is going to be voided, as explained by Iowa having to void his contract by 4/1/20 for the fiscal year that begins on 7/1/21.
That all makes sense, so it made more sense for Iowa to cut their losses, pay him in full, and kick him out the door. They also made it clear Doyle can not come back and sue the University. Iowa did a good job of covering all the bases honestly.
This is still a much smarter way of handling things than firing Doyle.
Observations/comments:
1. Barta might not get fired by KF as he at least showed some emotion.
2. We now should have some good material to work with Barta crying memes....you smart techy people do your thing now.
3. Iowa got the best outcome in their interest but it just points to show how much more skeletons there are in the closet. It's basically saving face vs. actually caring about change.
4. I always knew some Iowa fans were a piece of work but holy racism from posts/tweets I've come across.
5. Barta knew about racist allegations in 2019 and didn't do anything about it? Seems like habitual behavior if you read my timeline thread.....in 2007 he told a victim of sexual assault to handle it the informal way and then sat for a month on it before getting any actual authority involved.

I heard Doyle's spectacular career performance triggered his "Great guy definitely not a racist" clause in his contract.
I assume he's the one that's going to officially take over. Maybe @Brodie0 knows more but I hope it's him
