I'm dumb for not fapping about this? Interesting. Actually, not really.

This is why it was insane how they took the "independent review" and pretended like going forward everything will be fine with only making one staff adjustment. Kirk clearly has his priorities way of whack and Barta is total puppet.
Didn't Iowa have their chance for this? They neglected to only have certain former players interviewed during the "investigation".
Not really - lawyers are obviously on a contingency plan. Players will get at least 60% on this plan if an cash changes hands. Good chance there will be cash changing hands because of the results of this legal review this summer.
The former players don’t have much of a case. Will be interesting to see if Iowa settles this to prevent discovery, or if they let the lawsuit play out and tell the litigants to pound sand.
They literally have a smoking gun in Chris Doyle. Iowa let him go and was more than happy of paying out the rest of his salary so they didn't have to fire him. They literally said letting him go allowed players within the program to feel comfortable again. That means that for years, Kirk and Iowa were perfectly fine with players not feeling comfortable within the walls until the flood gates opened.
No, they are asking for 20MM plus attorney fees. Am I the only one who read it?
If it goes to court, the payment to muzzle Doyle will be meaningless.
The statute of limitations has run on most of the players’ Title VI claims. Regardless, it’s going to be pretty tough for the players to prove they were discriminated against because of their race. A coach being an ***hole doesn’t amount to discrimination.
I was saying that due to Iowa essentially throwing Doyle under the bus, they're admitting to being at fault. I also think that if this would go to court, Doyle could get brought back into this thing and would be forced to discuss his wrongdoings in front of everyone.
That certainly wouldn't be good for Iowa because he's likely not going to go quietly. This would be his time to put blame elsewhere, something he couldn't do before because they muzzled him.
Jesus, were you dropped on your head? This is already documented. LMAO at all of you who thought this was just going to go away.
I said it when they let him go but kept Jr. Iowa painted themselves into a corner.
In what ways did Iowa discriminate against black players? Be specific.
Well that's just not true considering a 3 month investigation proved without a doubt that African American football players were indeed being treated differently than those who are white. That internal report lays the groundwork for these lawyers to be able to prove that these players were mistreated due to their race.
Also, do you really think Iowa would've run Doyle out of the program because he was an a**hole? He would've been gone years ago when he put a dozen players in the hospital. Nah. I don't buy that for a single second and neither do you, but your true "proud" to say otherwise.
Have you ever been around a college football program at all? Coaches being ******** to players is the norm. Everywhere. That's not what this is at all. It's partly sad and partly hilarious that you are trying chalk this up as coaches being ********.
