So why doesn't CW bring it up on the show? I guarantee the hawk homer would if this was about ISU? I see people saying the media isn't talking about it, why doesnt CW bring it up?

Doesn't count since it came from Robert T. Green. You should know better.
Please remind us again the username of the poster on a rival site (CF) complaining on the number of pages of a lawsuit on Bill Fennelly versus this thread.
BTW- this makes 8426 posts. So there, GFY!!
You seem to know all the truths, is this player one we can believe or is this one lying? I feel for the kid. Coaches are to be leaders, not bully's. **** move Doyle.
"As it pertains to not knowing or he should have known, he knows that as the leader of the program that he’s responsible for everything that occurs in the program.”
Barta said the former players speaking out over the past week and a half came as a “wake-up call” to him. However, he said the athletic department was previously aware of certain shortcomings.
Several statements came out of the anonymous interviews from the study that Barta called “concerning.” Two examples Barta shared Monday was that one athlete at the time said that “I felt like I had to put a mask on and check my identity at the door.” Another said during the interview process that “I was told by my coach to change my hairstyle because it didn’t fit the Iowa culture.”
Barta generalized about the report done. He tip toed around the report, overall alluding to black players not feeling comfortable there. He never went into the specifics of what the report found as to why the players felt that way, nor the behaviors of some of the coaches towards them.

"In early 2019, they came back with a report and concerns that were raised in interviews. Many of our African-American student-athletes did not feel comfortable being their true selves. Some said they felt like they had to put a mask one when they entered the door, asked to change hair style, and some felt they were't treated well."
Terrence Harris has been very vocal from the start on twitter about his experiences at Iowa. This is the first "formal" statement from him as far as I know.
Not sure why. He doesn't cover their program so really wouldn't have any bridges to burn there. My guess is kxno is worried about backlash in the form of boycotting. More than half their listener base are hok fans. And in their business you gotta give the people what they want, which sadly isn't social justice apparently
It's going to be fun to see how @TrianglePlace spins this. Or is Terrence Harris now not credible either?
