Not being funny when I said that. I am disgusted by Barta. He is vile. It is well documented he is fine with criminal behavior. He is an accomplice not an ad. His tears were his most vile to date.
That's a real bad condemnation of the "right way" program. From Malik's statement, the white players were not subjected to the same torture as the black players. That would be a clear racial discrimination right there.

Rucker is a good kid too. I know some people that know him and his family up in Minneapolis. We recruited him hard out of high school. Horrible that he had to go through that
Wadley's mother, Sharonda Phelps, has posted a replay of a live stream with Robert Green (her counsel) that she and other mothers had on June 14th. She had hosted a watch party for the original streaming.
It's pretty long and I haven't watched the whole thing but it seemed to me that Green has got a pretty good handle on all of the racial mess that had occurred in the program.
He lays out the program's actions in great detail. It doesn't seem that he or Sharonda or the other mothers are going away any time soon. That would be a great video to have posted on the ANE website or at least a link to it.

Some additional exposure in the NY Times...
"You can say this about the college football industrial complex: it knows how to take care of its own.
Iowa rid itself of its longtime strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle on Monday after a long line of former players accused him of abusive behavior, including racist comments.
To make him go away, the school sent Doyle off with a $1.1 million parting gift (along with 15 months of health benefits) — quite a bit more than the $15,000 settlement it paid one of the 13 players who ended up hospitalized in 2011 after one of Doyle’s punishing winter workouts."

I mean jmb going back into the Barta cancer thing. Just look back. He responded to the exact same post a couple days ago. I just commented that there are plenty of other things to go after Barta for but his cancer shouldn't be one of them.
Yeah Barta has a pretty long rap sheet of all his wrongdoings. I would focus on his character and ethical choices more than a disease he's burdened with.
Bo pretty much nailed my thoughts. There's no chance he didn't know. He just got caught.
In case those missed the thread, here is his rap sheet. I should add that they ignored the 2019 report that started to show some findings on these issues.
