Is the end game financial for Green?
Dances around the question and doesn't answer saying he's a business man and it's not the point if it's financial or not.

I think it's smart they found someone who is credible and they can trust to help with their platform
They're doing a "review" of the program right now.. It's no different than Iowa not commenting about any of these allegations because of the current "review".
I think someone asked the question earlier whether or not Iowa or Iowa State fans could objectively look at this situation, as in they were too close to it on either side. I'd argue the local media fits exactly into that category. They're too close. They don't want things to go sideways with the Iowa football program for fear of retaliation (as has been discussed repeatedly) or the individuals are simply big fans of the program and don't want to see bad things happen to it. Either way, it's really tough to get objective, real news (or even opinions) about this situation locally.
I honestly feel there are elements of BS on both sides of the story here. And we are fools to think that no one will attempt to profit off this situation, whether it be monetarily or just from notoriety. As despicable as that is, it's a reality. It doesn't take away from the real racist claims that exist. There are too many people saying the same thing for it to be completely false. It's obviously a culture thing in Iowa football. We can argue about who can be believed and who can't, but the reality is, there is a big issue with the Iowa football program. All other BS aside, that much is clear.
There’s a better chance of Kirk firing Barta than Barta firing Kirk.
LOL so you're mad he's not answering questions fully. They've asked more tough questions to this guy than Kirk Ferentz got asked and he's the main highlight of the investigation!
The local media has Kirk's seminal fluid on their chins. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
That's the most well thought out, intelligent post that I've read (maybe ever) on here. Nice work.
I mean it's technically an answer, it's just not what you want to hear. If he said no, you would be arguing he should've said yes. Also, the question is completely meaningless. Him providing these players a platform (which they literally did not have before), then who cares if this guy's motive at the end is to get paid. He obviously sees this situation as a perfect opportunity because there is oozing evidence of misconduct.
My struggle is that they don't need him. He's acting as a middleman but really has no experience with this type of situation. He specializes in business management services. He's not an attorney.
Agreed. However there seems to be enough smoke beyond the BS that this isn't something that can be swept under the rug.
Yeah I will agree with you there. It would make far more sense to get a lawyer. However maybe the goal for the players is not to sue? Maybe they just want to get their voices heard and see action.
