Attempted murder is a big dealSomeone called out the local media for the coverage on this subject during the penalty box on the morning rush. Heather and Travis both agreed that it is odd that bandgate did get way more coverage.

From an outsiders perspective, yes it is extremely odd. When you're talking about Gary Barta, it's not odd at all.Someone called out the local media for the coverage on this subject during the penalty box on the morning rush.

That's actually not true, but I'll agree with you that his job is less up in the air as others on the staff are. However with that being said, this entire situation is multi-faceted and could get very very interesting when punishments start getting handed down. We know Kirk wants Brian to be the head coach when he's gone, so what happens if Brian is fired? Does Kirk stay? Doyle has already came out and denied any wrong doing on his part, so if he's terminated and decides to sue the school (which would happen), is he going to take Kirk and Brian down with him?
Yeah after reading that article in the Register, it seems pretty clear that this is not going to be a clean ordeal. It will get messy.No way Brian goes without Kirk going too.
Iowa is going to deny and defend to the maximum, they will not cave until they are broken. The former players ought to find some high-powered law firm and do a class action suit for like $500M. That would bring the heat.

I was done after the first caller that equated it to a drill Sargent. He opened by stating Doyle hasn't actually used any racist words correct?Because "THAT" world be unacceptable.
I have no idea how Doyle would handle all of that. He was very public on Twitter when he essentially denied his behaviors. If he's pissed with his termination, he could certainly make this more messy by throwing blame on Kirk and Barta. It's also important how Brian is dealt with. If Doyle is let go and Brian stays on, it will get bad. If both Doyle and Brian are let go, Kirk will be up in arms. That's not to mention there are many players that are going to take legal action in all of this.If Doyle were to turn on Kirk and University it will all be settled quickly, out of public view, and for a mountain of cash. He could bury both KKKirk and Brian in a hurray.
I'm sure he is the only one who will. Gotta say I have a lot more respect for Rob than I previously did.
He's been the most unbiased in this entire situation and has been ridiculed for doing so.Why the lack of respect before and why do you have more now?
Super original name for this new Iowa website. Did they come up with this 20 years ago and then CF founders copied them?
You'd love that wouldn't you? Lot's of folks here would love nothing more than to see the Iowa football program burnt to the ground. To the contrary, most of the players that have spoken out and have been directly affected by all of this want just the opposite. They want change and transparency but they don't want the program destroyed. They want it to use this opportunity to be better. I haven't read everything that has been put out there by former players but that is the overall feeling I get from what I have read.The former players ought to find some high-powered law firm and do a class action suit for like $500M. That would bring the heat.

I don't want to speak for him, but from my standpoint it would largely be indifference previously (don't pay too much attention one way or the other to hawk reporters) to earning a great deal of respect by not being afraid to share these guy's stories.Why the lack of respect before and why do you have more now?

I know you're trying to spin it as "you didn't respect him before, but now you do? How convenient". You all are putting as much spin as possible on this whole thing and working feverishly to argue semantics, discredit accusers, etc.
He booted off hn years back but he is doing the right thing now.
