I'm glad to see this. I'm not on Twitter so I don't see this stuff unless it's posted here. Good on them.
That's fair, but to a point. The "investigation" should be highly scrutinized by all parties. Obviously, they're still working through things, but if they're not contacting Wadley, one of the loudest players in all this, then something seems amiss.
I will say one thing stuck out as tough to believe at Wadley's post, having a hard time imagining BF on a jog.
But seriously, you have to feel for Wadley, the kid carried that program his senior year. Seeing the fans turn on him is just disgusting.

Just like they did with the gator chomp, wearing the color black, waving the flag that spells their school name, "helping" farmers, and systematic bullying and racism inside a football program
My response was to hiring PJ Fleck. While he'd be the best coach in the state, I still can't stand the guy.
I was honestly joking. No one should claim someone's racist because they are wearing an Iowa shirt.
I disagreed because I think CMC is better, but I think PJ is a good coach. COMPLETE tool though.
And I really don't know who's better but I do agree that Fleck is a tool and that opinion I highly doubt will change.
You and the rest of that fan base have spent the last month foo-fooing these allegations and attacking the character of the people making them. It's becoming apparent that Kirk and Brian were active participants in what was a blatantly racist culture. If you want to support that, go for it, but at least own it.
It'd be nice to see Iowa fans get as upset about racism like they do when we wear an alternate uniform.
stating the "I live in district 4" part was as close as I wanted to get to being political but I think most know where I'm coming from there.
But again......you go ahead and stereotype if you want. Doesn't take a lot of thought on your part. A decent percentage of people will stereotype you right along with me because you're from Iowa.
I'm not sharing my personal opinion on that with you because you have a history of twisting everything that is said around. But, I have not defended anybody associated with the program at this point so you can take that for what it's worth.
Which is why your fan base and administration's treatment of this is such an embarrassment. I have a graduate degree from U of I and I know I don't want to be associated with what that football program represents.
I remember when Baylor came to Jack Trice a few years back, fresh off the Art Briles mess. I had seats near the visitor section. I recall seeing several men their with their young daughters supporting Baylor, and the whole thing just felt so "icky" to me. I understand it's the team you support and that allegiances die hard. But people's ability to so easily detach cheering for a team from the behavior of those involved has always struck me.
