Gary Barta everybody

FWIW - a member of the Iowa marching band made a social media post ripping Barta and the athletics department for stopping the investigation. Claims (1) that beer cans were shaken, opened, and rolled at their feet as the band was marching; (2) someone was slapped; and (3) multiple band members were shoved, one of them leading to broken ribs.

Lol how jealous are you we have Pollard and you're stuck with Barta?

I’m not a fan of Barta, but I am also very grateful that we don’t have Pollard as our AD.

Should Gary Barta be employed?

Social media with Iowa band members, always trustworthy:

Someone in the reddit thread said they have a friend in the Iowa band and that multiple fans directed racial slurs at a black trumpet player. Yikes if that’s true.

1- having seen enough full beer cans thrown at the ISU band, i'm going to call this minor. I'll take cans rolled in and spraying beer any day over people getting hit with full beer cans.

3- yet this person doesnt say they actually witnessed it. Its all third hand. And i'm extremely skeptical of someone breaking ribs just from being shoved. Theyre 18-22, not 80-82.

Wait you think Barta is better than Pollard?

Begging the truth over events known to happen in Kinnick. Good grief the entire Hawk community is pathetic. Iowa is the 5’7” “hold me back” bro.

Well, I’m pissed JP decided not to make a public statement about investigating the criminal acts that no one can prove didn’t occur in Kinnick last year.

You’re comparing a post directly from an Iowa band member to a post from an alleged friend of a band member. Surely you can see the difference. Regardless, that is why I tagged my post with “FWIW.”

Well i guess that shows your iq level.

JP isn't just better than Barta, he's arguably one of the best ADs in the country.

I'm thinking the odds of the National Guard being called out to protect the bands for future CyHawk games is about 50/50. Semi-joking....

Jane Meyer's bank account thinks so.

ROTC is usually already at the games doing security.

No disrspect to ROTC but.....Barney Fife is more intimidating.

Ricky Stanzi doesn't like that.

No, Pollard is better. I’d rather not have either as my favorite school’s AD.

And once again - the four LEOs that were with the band the entire day saw nothing, and were told nothing? Someone shoves me hard enough to break my ribs, I'm damn sure gonna call the cops standing right near the band.

You don’t know how you would have reacted, especially when you were an 18-22 year old kid. I’m not sure what the appropriate response is, but I’m 100% certain that victim blaming is not it.

No, Pollard is better.

For sure
