The first Cook to Mizzou rumors were in January which means that Cuonzo Martin was probably tampering. I remember some interview where Fran said that if he suspected another team of tampering then he would block that school no exception. So this could get pretty entertaining.

That’s good detective work. Interesting.

Fran would get lit up by the media if he blocked Mizzou. Home state school, different conference and you won't play them. Of course if he transfers somewhere tampering was involved but cut your losses and go scour the CIML for a replacement instead of bringing more attention to it

Honestly, I don't think Fran gives a damn about what people think of him and he's stubborn enough to fight this regardless of the optics. Of course unless Cuonzo and his staff were morons when they were tampering there isn't going to be any proof.

Testifying
7 or 8 teams from the B12 can make the NCAA's from a 10 team league. 4 or 5 teams from the B1G can make the NCAA's from a 14 team league.
To even think that we play the same caliber of teams is ridiculous.
What do you disagree with @breck53 ?
As of today Lunardi has 8 B12 teams in, and 4 B1G teams in.

How cool would it be if JorBo won the Disney Spirit Award at the ESPYs. Two years in a row for Iowa? Gotta be a contender already with all the national love the situation is getting.
If JorBo would have waved toward the Children's Hospital before missing the FT, he would have been a shoe-in for the award.

Hard to know for sure but he sent a tweet saying life is bigger than basketball after game so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd still have missed it. Classy move, proud to have him on the team.

My only question is why didnt he just throw the ball back to the ref? Thats what Chris Paul did after his grandpa passed. I am not saying he tried to make it, just wonder why he didnt take all doubt away and toss it back to the ref.

When Cook decides to transfer are the Hawkeye fans going to be all over Fran or spin it that it's no big deal?
