I'm not denigrating Fleming. He played at Iowa but had good players in front of him so never got to start. Obviously, there was an easier path to playing time at WVU and it looks like he did well there.

You were acting like Iowa kept a kid on the bench behind players he was better than.
He didn't leave Iowa because he wasn't playing lol he left Iowa because in the 4 years he was there he was put in the hospital during a workout, called the N word by their S&C coach, had his grades made public for every teammate / staff member to see, forced to change his hairstyle, and degraded as a human being by his head coach.
 
It's amazing any of the dozens of African American players that were drafted could succeed in such a hostile environment.
Found your game day uniform. Added benefit that it that has a built in mask for your Covid needs.

Actually, you are. You're response only stated that he was only good enough to make a practice squad (which, by the way, only about 5% of power 5 college teams make)...and made it seem negative. You are factually true here, but you could have led with your statement above instead of the negative. As for Iowa having better players in front of him...maybe, but WV was better than Iowa that year. Who knows how Iowa would have been if Fleming stayed.

Do you need him to go back in time to wear a wire for you to believe him?
Should we just throw out the court system or investigations and start automatically believing every single accusation that is made? It's not that simple and it's not that clear cut.

THIS IS NOT A LEGAL SYSTEM INVESTIGATION! THERE IS NO DUE PROCESS. THE PROCESS IS WHATEVER KF AND BARTA DECIDE! JFC WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

I'll remember that. It's just an allegation unless you can prove it.

I wonder how many of those alleged reported offers for your 2021 class are actually true

So if 5 ex cyclones post on Twitter tomorrow that they experienced racial insensivity from coaches at Iowa State, do you just start firing them? There needs to be due process. An investigation is due process.
 
Odds that KXNO 2-4 pm show will mention this?

15 mins in so far.... and nothing.
I called the other day and asked why they talk so much about boundary waters and so much and not this. He said there is no new information, I said well you talk about covid19 with no new information.
 
I believe it was the correct decision due to the fact he was implicated by about 60 players as the main issue.

Actually there were only 22 players that came forward about Doyle. Kirk is at 9 currently.

How many need to come forward able Kirk before the correct decision is to force him to resign? 10? 15?

FIFY

You certainly don't believe every single accusation individually, but as a whole, there becomes a developing theme. Can you see the theme? Because almost every single person outside the realm of Hawkeyeland can.

Also, this isn't the court of law in the fact that hard evidence in this case is most likely going to become very hard to come by. In the court of law, Kirk might be okay. However the public views him differently. Example - Casey Anthony. She killed her daughter, was found not guilty, but I guarantee you she ended up not being employed after the fact. At that point, it becomes a PR issue. This is starting to become a PR issue. A big one. One that if not done correctly, could effect the program very badly.

Did you graduate from high school? What on earth are you talking about. Did you take a government class, civics, read a history book? Seriously any of those things?

There are many players saying it starts in the S&C room. They are also saying Kirk is the guy that can lead the program through this change. I will support the players no matter what happens.
