Barta Extended!

Nope. Iowa played a much tougher schedule, won as many games as isu and beat them head to head.

I get why these things don’t count for 2017. They counted before and will count again but that is how clone fans roll. Just move the goal posts when they don’t fit your argument.


For the 4th time, still waiting for you to answer my questions. Please explain to us what Barta has done that is personally put his mark on the university and made it great. Please explain how him retaining McCaffrey is great for the university.

What about it? Wasn’t his call to make whether or not that lawsuit went to trial. That call was made by the Chief Legal Counsel and University President.

Just like it wasn’t Pollards call to settle the discrimination case against BF and the isu Athletic Department.


So you disagree Iowa's own beat writers than all agreed Barta's lack of attention to detail led to costing the university millions of dollars?

Do you think it was lack of attention or purposely not using methods that can be legally checked on by the freedom of information act? I lean towards the latter. He knew it was wrong and didn't want open records to show it.

Honestly never considered that outcome. Maybe it was giving Barta too much credit that he wouldn't be that horrible. However, its plausible. He just got destroyed in that courtroom. When you hear guys like Keith Murphy go off on that debacle, you know its bad.

I left something in the toilet that is more relevant than hiring a rowing coach...seriously??


And you basically listed the requirements of the job that is the AD. Has he gotten AD of the year? You still haven't defended his decisions to keep and extend mad Fran. You still haven't explained his debacle in costing the university millions. You still haven't explained why he is so horrible with PR.
 
Ever hear how JWR came about? He told us once it was because his bookie said he was too good at bets and it came from "just another winning regularly...."

I'd prefer not to ban him. It's fun to watch him bury himself.
What is jwr?

Again it wasn’t Barta’s call to make to go forward with a trial or settle. Just like it wasn’t Pollards decision to settle the discrimination case against BF and the isu AD.

The documentation Barta had or didn’t would have been discoverable for trial so if the Chief Legal Counsel or University President didn’t use it to make their decision that is on them.

Yes he had received AD of the year. Well before isu’s.

Barta made the decision to remove two people from the department. It wasn’t his decision to go to trail when Legal action was taken.

Care to explain why isu wrestling has been so bad if JP is as awesome as you claim?

You're making a huge gap in logic here.

1. Barta's actions or lack of actions and recording details directly led to the lawsuit that cost the university millions. Iowa's own beat writers are in 100% agreement of this, so it's not just Cyclone fans making this up.

2. Pollard had NOTHING to do with Fennelly's treatment towards players and that suit ended up being dropped anyways.

Where in my posts did I say JP was awesome. He's made mistakes and he's admitted it. He's learned from them too. Realized Kevin Jackson wasn't a good hire and made a change and wrestling has gotten better.

You ignored my posts about Iowa basketball.

in his words it was "just a winning regularly hawk"....your guess is good as mine how he got that to boil down to jwr. It stems from his amazing wins against his bookie...
 
@Walmartthieves

Wrestling is such a weird hill to die on when JP has appeared to correct the mistake. Especially since Iowa’s men’s basketball has been a giant cluster**** for well over a decade and nothing has been done to fix it.

Solid.i don’t remember it at all.
 
I'll bet anyone here $100 that Walmart wakes up and the first thing he does is call Jamie Pollard and breath heavily into the phone then hang up.

Clone fans sure don’t like the truth. They only tolerate their versions of it. When that fails they move the goalposts.
Only at isu is 8-5 very good.
It shows just how good KF has been.

Well, the rowing team serves as a Title IX source of women's scholarships that allows Iowa to beef up it's football roster...

Iowa has a 91-person rowing roster, despite a normal team size of 50-60. This allows the football team to have an additional 30 or so walk-ons. Good job Gary, playing the system in your favor despite the fact that many on the rowing team will never see competition.
