How will little Conner ever survive for 2 games without his daddy?

Bet Fran is out using the down time to recruit already

Is Margaret going to fill in?

If Barta doesn't make him go to the microphone and apologize to the ref, the team, his family and fans, he is guilty too. Waiting..............

....trying to steal possible UNI recruits right out from under them!

I hope he never leaves.

I thought it would be longer honestly.

Dolph's suspension is a joke, but they are two totally different roles/jobs (so different standards) and the reasoning for both (whether right or wrong) are for two different types of offenses.

Not a worthy comparison IMO.

So because one is more expendable than the other treatment should differ? Considering Fran's history and Dolph's long-tenured devotion to Hawkeye sports, I think its outrageous.

I can hear his pitch now

"You dont want to go there. They are ******* cheaters. They fix all their games."

I wonder if Barta will give a lucky student that purchases a football student ticket to pay back Frans fine.

Is there videos of the technical and lead ups to it?

He needs to atone. A released statement and zero public apology is childish. He needs a mic in has face and needs to apologize on camera. His no comment about his comments last night was BS.

If he would have commented about the officiating in the press conference he would have gotten fined.

Still think this is no big deal?

Pretty much every opposing team's point guard is his daddy, so he should be fine for those two games.

This will not be MadFran's last suspension while at the UofI.
It's sad to see this type of behavior associated with the state of Iowa and I'm thankful that he at least does not represent my alma mater.

I thought it would be 3 just to close out the regular season, then coach in the B1G tournament.

If I were Iowa I would do just the opposite and have the suspension in the post season...they actually might win a game in the tournament.

Honestly two games is very lenient in this situation. John Higgins has been officiating for 30 years and said he's never been accused of fixing a game. This is unprecedented stuff

Headed to Marion as we speak.
