Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

I don't think anyone lied that they knew black players felt uncomfortable in the facility after the report was wrapped up in 2019. Barta explained all that at his June 15 presser. KF said he had a blind spot which I think meant Doyle but ISU fans here think it meant the race issues
If there are legit email or text receipts that KF knew of the specific allegations against Doyle that players are making then he should go.
So hold on, you don't think Kirk, who is best friends with Doyle and has been for decades, didn't know how Doyle was treating these players?

Only way racists could get AA players would be to pay them, makes sense
Cytwins, I am surprised that Harder/Triangle haven't given you a "like" for this.

I can't remember if it was Brodie or him, but one of them said a while back that if Kirk knew about any of these types of things and let them continue, he should be let go. Well we've found out Kirk knew about most of them, not all, but most.
Now it's come to be that there has to be a legit email or text message that shows Kirk knew. First of all, what's a "legit" email? Not sure if I've ever received an "un-legit" email, so just wondering. Also, pretty ironic that you're now saying you need a smoking gun in order to determine whether or not you want your coach fired. Not say, the 65+ accusations.

Not specifics, no.
You think Doyle went to KF and told him over a beer that one day during a workout he sagged his shorts and walked in a stereotypical way towards a black player?
What I heard on Monday. No staff changes was the expectation from my source
I've been on record here for weeks that the review needs to be completed before determining KF's fate.
Also, there is such a thing as doctored emails or screenshots of texts.
Finally, do you know when Ms. Phelps is releasing her book?
I heard the student who had to take the sweaty practice gear to the laundry was replaced. Tough break for him but a price had to be paid. They couldn't let these charges go without consequences.
Was mad at Ross and Emery presuming Kirk was guilty before the report was done (when all up until that point they were both saying they want to wait to make a judgement).
Just a total meltdown by him ensued.
I think it would be useful/appropriate and a good reminder to put an asterisk behind the words report/review*

There’s a lot going on and I’m just trying to remind people that sometimes forget that this report is not close to a true investigation.
