Why would Iowa punish their next staff? Not to mention the current players/victims?

Did you all see the tweet that tagged all the media last night urging them to do the right thing
This all just makes me want to throw up.
So when KF tried to cover up a rape.... Iowa vowed to be the shining example to the rest of the country about how women deserved respect. So awesome of them!
And when rhabdo happened and KF and Doyle nearly killed 13 of their football players.... Iowa vowed to be the best team in the country of never allowing that to ever happen again.... and because of that.... KF awarded Doyle a newly created special award just to show how great of a S & C program they had at Iowa!! How touching!
And now when it's discovered that KF has been running a controlling, abusive, and racist program for 20 some years.... they are vowing to become the nation's leader in getting rid of racism in college football and becoming the example that everyone else should follow..... it almost brings a tear to my eye.... it's SO touching!!
And almost all of the local and state media is just eating all of this up as they continue to worship KF and Iowa football and praise them at every opportunity.... and asking softball questions all the time..... like..... "hey Kirk... which would best describe you.... awesome or great?".
It's so disgusting. And the journalism is so bad. It's really not even journalism by definition. It's photo ops.

Bullying is a major cause of suicide. The kid with ADHD I'm thankful he got out.
Well those kids didn't get out did they? Not making light of what happened whatsoever but this is not a Jerry Sandusky type situation.
So you think it's a good thing that Kallenberger left Iowa because he didn't want to put up with all the shaming from the coaching staff?
Or do you think it's sad that he felt like he needed to leave because of that? And maybe..... I know it's crazy..... but maybe..... the coaches shouldn't have treated him like that in the first place?
Kinda like the rape cover up, or the rhabdo incident, or the current racist problem..... wouldn't it have been better if none of this happened in the first place.... or is it all just awesome because of how Iowa is handling these incidents.... and they are now going to learn from it and be better than ever because of it?
I think it would be better if all of these incidents weren't allowed to happen in the first place, but that's just me.
While not of the racist nature, here's a reminder that the toxic culture of singling out and bullying players began very early in KKKirk's tenure. There are some very familiar quotes in here (I especially like the last sentence):

Here's my futurist post: they will keep Doyle until it becomes unbearable and then offer him up as the scapegoat. If that doesn't quell the outrage then BF is in the bullseye. If KF has to fire BF I predict he won't and will resign instead.
Most public educators will tell you, nothing says "clean out your desk by the end of the day" than the treatment of Kallenberger.
The media in this case has no cajones, zero. How long was spend on #BandGate that ended up being pretty much a Nothing Burger? How about when an Iowa Fan broke in to Iowa's locker room in Ames and stole a bunch of stuff? It's Iowa Football. As long as they have to be worried about their access to Kinnick and writing fluff pieces for the Drunks in Ottumwa, they won't do ****.
Are Iowa fans really using “Penn State raped children” as a defense for why Kirk Ferentz is not a despicable human being?
