Would firing Barta lead to a Kirk Ferentz retirement?

I would guess so since that would do away with the odds of Brain taking over. OTOH though, 95% of his family and extended family depend on the U of I for their income.

Code Brown issued for GarBar.

I think this calls for a modified FranCon system.

Will be interesting how much she does/does not support athletics. I am sure she will say all the right things, but a good chunk of academics had a real problem with all the money in the AD.

Personally, I hope she turns out to be Iowa's Gordon P. Eaton.

I think you meant Alex P. Keaton.

This will never get old.

Can't Iowa hire anyone that isn't ready to retire? She is obviously qualified, but bring in someone who will be there more than 5 (yeah right) years.

Isn't Wintersteen 65? I assume she's retiring soon.

Would firing Barta lead to a Kirk Ferentz retirement?

Depends on who the new AD is.

I like it. EVP of Academics at UI Champaign, impressive.

Would have been more inline if she was from Chicago . . . .

Hiring a person from a land-grant university. I will use that regularly with Iowa fans and grads that don't understand what that means. Lol
