Any update on when Ms. Phelps' book is going to be released?
Also, I see RTG posted a few times on Facebook today and each post got a couple likes.
TP, (almost) every single one of us agreed that some of Akrum's story didn't line up completely. We said he should be listened to and his allegations were bad, but some of those allegations were combatted by evidence that proved them wrong, which led to his entire story being thrown out the window by most.
The report that came out today was not a win for Iowa. It showed there was racial bias, discrimination, and unfair treatment towards black players under Kirk Ferentz's culture. The report stated their were individuals more at fault than others (Doyle, Wallace, and BF). This report didn't discredit, disprove, or negate ANYTHING that has been stated over the past two months (outside of Kirk disputing Akrum's claims). All this did was put Iowa in the position to have to make a decision. A decision most of us knew the answer to. Which would be that no one is being held accountable.
This didn't go well contrary to their beliefs. It just proved what many of us have been talking about prior to this, which is that Iowa has an incompetent athletic department who will not take action against those who are supposed to be leaders. Barta is supposed to be a leader and he's a joke who doesn't hold anyone accountable. Kirk is supposed to be a leader and he allowed unchecked behaviors happen under his watch for years. Brian and Wallace are supposed to be leaders but their actions have been over the top inappropriate, discriminatory, and some would argue even racist.
Those guys are still a part of your program. And if you can look yourself in the mirror and be happy about that, boy, do you have some soul searching to do.
