I really don’t understand the weight thing. Of course you need to be in shape in athletics. And if you meltdown when someone tells you that you need to lose a few pounds, maybe competitive athletics aren’t for you.

4 years to a guy with no bargaining position, and quite possibly opening ourselves up to other problems? That doesn't sound like something we had to do.
The athletic department just sent an email announcing the contract extension for a women's soccer coach. I don't recall that happening before outside of the major sports.
They're just going to ignore the accusations, I guess? I don't have strong feelings about this in either direction, other than that I think they need to say something publicly - even if it's just to say they looked into it and found the accusations to be without merit.
Maybe they've watched the way Iowa conducts itself in the face of bad PR and decided there's no consequence for just doing whatever you want.

I'm gonna go ahead and trust JP on this one as usual.
Maybe because it was all ********…?
Agreed with trusting pollard on this one. I don’t think he’d put himself or the athletic department in a vulnerable position at this point.
That’s pretty funny. Pretty embarrassing for Tommy Birch.
Women’s sports, where the #8 basketball team starts the season at 11:00 am on a Monday and going winless in conference gets you a big extension.
Allegations maybe, but what about the W/L record part of the 'all'?

I'm going to assume that JP has a lot more information on the situation than anyone on this board and if he thinks this move is in the best interest of ISU, he's earned the benefit of the doubt from me.
Very true and I absolutely agree. Just from what I know between performance and the allegations just figured we'd move on.
More or less embarrassing than getting caught with a _______?
