Well, look what's back...see what happens kids when you don't get your kids vaccinated properly. Diseases like measles, polio and Johnnydugouts reappear.... ;-)
The putz who thought your question was funny. I'm too lazy to type the whole name, sorry! Especially since he is neither critical nor observant.
And THAT is why I appreciate having Pollard as an AD, even if there are occasions when I disagree with him or don't understand his goals.
You really aren't worth the time, but any time you'd care to compare relative knowledge of criminal procedure, I'm game. Not only did I learn it as a law student, and use it as a prosecutor and defense attorney--I've also taught it.
As for the rest, I'm not particularly hateful. But feel free to think whatever you need to while you're playing your little emoji games.
It serves the same purpose that his previous accusations served. Plant the seed of doubt. In reality, I think it shows his insecurity of ISU. I wonder if he was getting an earful from uofi alums all week about game day (they sure tried to downplay or take credit for it a lot on social media) and was looking for a way to tarnish ISU's day.
To that end, his mission was probably accomplished. An ESPN notice showed up on my phone last night when it was released. And, it was late enough that any journalist couldn't check with ISU. So, a large portion of college sports fans saw the headline without any real information to back it up.
If he really wanted to improve the situation, he could have worked with ISU quietly until more was known.
At the end of the story, to those who have read as many details as there are, Barta has no integrity and looks to be an embarrassment to uofi.
The funny part is that those who read what Pollard said today see Barta for what he really is as Pollard adds to his earned respect.
What purpose does this serve by issuing a press release at all for this? Someone please answer me that?
Even if what some are alleging did happen, which would be terrible, why wouldn't Barta and JP handle it privately, and then if anything ever did come of it, there would be an arrest and then there would be a press release describing what happened, who was arrested, what they were arrested for, etc.
But to come out right away with a press release to the entire country serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than to make Iowa State University look bad and throw them under the bus. It's totally unprofessional and extremely petty and lame.
But being that it's Barta.... it is not surprising at all.

I think to show the people who alerted him to the incident that he’s not ignoring them? I don’t think it’s a good reason but it’s a reason at least.
Not a good reason at all, you're right.
If you're Barta you tell the family of this person that you've contacted Jamie Pollard and the two of you are working on it and you will keep them posted.
One or both of these reasons come to mind:
- Barta being Barta.
- Fanning flames, exciting his base.
