Barta Extended!

I still remember the year Iowa hired him. Was visiting my brother in Wyoming where Barta left the AD job there to take the Iowa job. One guy I talked to basically said good riddance, Iowa can have him as he was a horrible AD at the University of Wyoming. He was only AD there from 2003-2006 so says a lot in just 3 years some fans already were glad to see him go.

I hope he has a long career at Iowa! :D

So Pollard didn't ignore the wrestling program? It makes him look even worse if he was trying. LOL.
Your continuation of this point is making you look worse.
I would ignore the point of this thread if I were you though.

So spending money on overdue projects for the sports that generate revenue is "ignoring wrestling"? Ok then...
 
What about Stoops? Barta had nothing to do with that.

Maybe you can answer why isu legends don’t want to work with Pollard?

Hoiberg has said on record many times he loves ISU and JP and didn't leave because of any issues with JP but left because of the opportunity.

He told the decision makers what he wanted to do and what documentation he had to back up the decision. It was then up to others to decide if they wanted to push it to trial or settle.

Not sure why this is so hard for you.


Say what you want, but Barta's actions eventually led to costing the university millions. Barta is a trainwreck at best at his job. He caved into the PC police on a very harmless (actually complimentary) comment by Dolphin then quietly suspended him. Then he didn't even have the balls to face the media when he made the decision. He also had to give Fran a quiet extension last year to avoid backlash as Fran is mediocre at best. His PR skills are a nightmare (Iowa in general basically). What has he contributed to football? Ferentz was more or less a lifer at the time he arrived.

and what does that have to do with Sanderson?


So you're choosing to die on a hill from a situation that happened a decade ago? JP can't magically make up money or facilities. At that time, he had to make the best decision based on the information and resources he had. It happens in any business. I left my last job because my new employer was going to give me better benefits and more money. Nothing against my old employer, but its just the way the world works.

Your juvenile repetitive arguments really show you know there is no way they make sense but you you're trying oh so hard to troll.

It didnt cost the University millions, it was paid for by the taxpayers.
