Racist UofI Hawkkks - Settlement Paid By Tax Payers

[Trice]

The Doyle piece is the smoking gun to those whole thing.

If this was all made up by these former players, Doyle would have filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Iowa right away.
Not only did he get fired, but there's already evidence that this cost him another job. He'd have the easiest case ever.

Doyle agreed not to sue per his separation agreement in June 2020.

How in the world do people actually believe Kirk Ferentz is a good person with that being known?

Ummmmm…. because he’s won a lot of football games….. duh.

He could do MUCH worse than this and be forgiven as long as he keeps winning. He already has.

 

[Cyclone06]

KKKirk Ferentz and Gary Barta could literally piss on the head of a hawkeye fan and that fan would say, "I love how this rain feels." Its scary. And how Ferentz has shifted all the blame for this to Barta... even scarier.

It got the attention of state law makers today from the story just on WHO-TV.

I particularly like this quote.

“We need to review the Regents budget and hold it until the stench over Iowa City is dismissed,” she said.

That stench has been there since Raisin Face. It's gonna take tanker loads of bleach and a train load of Febreze to even cut it a bit.

Yep, ISU and UNI will pay for the stench in Iowa City

Technically, Iowa's tax payers are coughing up $2 million to bail out the Board of Regents for their role in allowing the University of Iowa to create a culture of racism within their athletic department. That's why the state is on the hook for this payment. So shouldn't someone at the BOR Office be held accountable?

Ferentz’ pedestal is reaching the same height as JoePa’s.

Putting my money on hell freezing over.

Unbelievable how no one has called on kkkirk to accept any responsibility and no one has held him accountable for any of his actions on this matter and all the othe scandals of sukeye FB....cell phonegate, housinggate, players rape, rhabdo, racism,....what am i missing.
ANY OTHER FB or BB coach in 'merica would be long gone.....

But but but they WAVE at KIDS!!! SICK kids!!!!

Any chance vote was 2-1 because of Cyclones vs Hawks. Maybe Sand just voted that way because he wants Barta and eventually with new AD Kirk out. Cyclones would vote to keep the status quo.

It still blows my mind how quickly the media forgave and moved on from the sexual assault charges and cover up.

Imagine surviving that today.

It's a sick world we live in. At lease we don't live in Iowa City.

"Hawkkks" is the latest addition to my in-state rivalry vocabulary. It is so harsh, it is bound to offend, and it is spot-on!

And it’s even a website so it’s going mainstream baby.

 

[Jer]

As a Cyclone fan, I would hate to see Barta resign. He is the definition of a “gift that keeps on giving.”…. Millions in discrimination settlements.

FIFY

Here I thought Cedar Rapids had a stench about it. Must be that breeze from the north that it overtook Iowa City.

There was nothing political about that, that was as you said “doing right for the citizens”. And relying on the kirkwood institute as a point is rather amusing given its political agenda

I am not political and have no idea what the Kirkwood Institute is. I just did a quick google on Rob Sand and this popped up. Seems like a reason why some would feel a little suspicious, to his credit, in the article I posted he admitted he was wrong which is very unlike a politician.

I agree with you, but I think it is safe to say at this time that a lot of the players in the law suit did lie about their initial claims.

You are correct that we will never know the full story.

Did Kirk ever testify under oath in a deposition? The players did, did Kirk? I am curious. If he hasn’t, I feel the fact he hides behind his lawyer and the players’ depositions really shows what kind of a weasel he is. But if he did testify under oath, I stand corrected then.
