Academic fraud is a long tradition I thought we had lost but here we are! With all of the pay for play being disguised and relabeled as NIL a little transcript fraud seems almost quaint.

"I didn't know my in home country uni counted as "university" time here!"

And sort of a misrepresentation using the Iowa guy as neither he nor Iowa is mentioned in the article. You want to use an image for your article than maybe use the ProKick Australia logo or something.

To be fair we can’t be all that shocked.. didn’t Dahkin make a comment very close to

“I woke up one day and they told me I was going to Iowa. I didn’t know anything about where I was going”

(Sounds like it’s not really on the kids or the schools. More the recruiting service)

If found to be true.... is punting still winning at Iowa?? Or does it make them ineligible and they must vacate wins?

Didn't take long for that tweet to be deleted.

Here's the story without using the Iowa player's photo as clickbait. As noted above, neither he nor Iowa is even mentioned in the story so guessing they got a call from Iowa or the Big Ten (rightfully so in my opinion).

any screenshot of the tweet? I didn't see what it said.

See my link to the story in previous post. Story is still up. Tweet was quite defamatory to a student athlete and probably why it was removed.

It would be like a article on junior college fraud and using a cover shot of Curtis Jones and than seeing the story made no mention of Curtis or Iowa State at all. We would be pissed.

I mean, we are letting people play 9 years of college football. Are we going to pretend we care now? Is it only because Iowa was on the cover? Cory Dunn could have had the same situation as he was a Prokick Australia product, he just wasn’t good.

No It was posted because something talking about "punter fraud" is quite humorous. As many have mentioned Iowa is not even talked about in the story.

So, if it didn't have Tory Taylor on the original image on the tweet you still would have posted it?

We all know that Iowa media will not even touch this with a ten foot pole, lest they lose their press credentials.
They will spin a CC story first, to get the locals all worked up... then gently mention the punter issue and move on very quickly to the snow storm coming in tonight.

Not exactly sure.
The article mentions 3 or 4 (can remeber specifically) by name but says there are 7. So there are 3-4 that could include Taylor or Dunn. Having Dunn punt should be punishment enough though.
