Not just a Big Ten West, but four times vs one ISU time. So the ISU game means more than four times more to Iowa than Wisconsin does.

Sorry, I wasn't bowing down to the master while reading that. I will do better next time.
Nobody said there weren't race issues.
Also, where did you see that the price tag of the review was millions?

Correct, so the stain of being a racist program will carry on forever. Today's report changed none of that.
Also, where did you see that the price tag of the review was millions?
I don't know the exact cost, but it took a LOT longer than ever anticipated, and at $674 and hour, that adds up quick. Maybe it wasn't quite that much, but it had to be VERY costly.
Mark Dukes this afternoon on the radio in CR said he didn't think they got their money's worth since we didn't really learn anything new..... but I'd say they most definitely got their money's worth.... they got exactly what they wanted..... hard to put a price on that!

In the Husch Blackwell report, some current players (45 in total were interviewed) “expressed skepticism and cautioned that it is hard to truly change culture and that for change to be permanent, it must come from Ferentz and go ‘down the line.'"
Further, the report said other players “worried that the changes are not genuine, and the coaches are just covering their tracks.”
One more current player had concern that the changes wouldn't last because (the report said) "players have raised concerns with Ferentz in the past and, because he did not do anything at the time, the program may be waiting for things to blow over before they revert back” to past tendencies.
The report did state: According to several players, issues within the culture were “not just a
Chris Doyle problem.” Those players said the culture problems are systemic and cannot be
fixed simply by getting rid of one coach. Several former players commented that Coach Doyle
should not be a “scapegoat” for the systemic issues in the program.
With two in-depth reports and social media accounts, it’s pretty clear now there was racial bias in Iowa Football. Hawkeyes everywhere should feel awful about that.
Do you live in some type of fantasy land?
On June 15, Barta said the review would take weeks not months.
Also, the hourly price tag you are referring to was the very top end that could be charged.

"The contract doesn’t spell out the estimated cost of the probe, but it does say payment amounts for attorneys range from $240 to $675 per hour for partners and $200 to $390 per hour for senior counsel and associates."

So you want to argue the cost and not the racism..... got it. I wouldn't want to defend the racism either if I were you.
You don't remember lesson one from writing class? You never write "I would like to . . . ", "I want to . . ". By writing the document the recipient knows you want to or would like to. You are supposed to just get to the heart of the matter. He should have stated, "I apologize . . ." and went from there. If you want to apologize, then go ahead and apologize Kirk.
Kirkkk made it a point today to really twist the screws to not only Doyle, but to the strength training program as a whole. Essentially blaming the program and how it was ran on Kirkkk's blindness. It's like watching a movie and the plot is so obvious to everyone except the main character(s).
I thought the only crack in Capt. Kirk's monologue today was his non scripted comment about the scrambled eggs. It was not about the eggs. It was about some kid daring to complain. You could see the angry sneer surface ever so slightly when the Capt. let you how much he disdains any player getting out of line. Even if it's about the eggs.
Kirk is NOT happy with the current S&C situation and that's putting it mildly. I've heard that multiple times
