Barta's a fax machine guy in an era of mobile webmail. He's not cut out for modern ways of thinking and modern ways of doing things.Barta has never had a problem raising $ for projects either..... Everytime you turn around he's got his hands out to donors to help with this addition or that addition. It's probably his biggest strength as an AD is his fund raising. All he'd have to do is focus on this and put something creative together and they can at least be in the game.
Evolve or go extinct. He has to have the coaches banging on his door explaining what needs to be done. Football and MBB won't be able to compete if Iowa doesn't try to match the arm's race. It really aint rocket science. There is a blueprint. And as noted, Barta knows how to grease palms and raise dollars.Barta's a fax machine guy in an era of mobile webmail.

True another reason he and KF get along well. But they can delegate the other stuff out. Keep living in the stone age and you'll be left behindBarta's a fax machine guy in an era of mobile webmail. He's not cut out for modern ways of thinking and modern ways of doing things.

Barta will go extinct. He and Kurt are too old and too rich to F around trying to figure this thing out.True another reason he and KF get along well. But they can delegate the other stuff out. Keep living in the stone age and you'll be left behind
Hopefully together. I don't want Barta being in charge of replacing KF...Barta will go extinct. He and Kurt are too old and too rich to F around trying to figure this thing out.
It’s exceedingly rare that you find a rich old dog willing to learn new tricks.
Unfortunately NIL is going to be driven by how big your fanbase is and how rich it is. It will not bode well for Iowa. The school can't change that.
As I wrote in the column, Iowa's athletic budget is Top 5 in B1G and Top 20 in the country.
Little old Iowa refrain does not apply. The money is there. It's how creative and progressive the department can be with NIL.

That and I think he's been 3/4ths dead since about 2018. The guy looks like a friggin corpse.And I wonder what pushed Mike Krchyeslskseiskskiki at Duke to retire? I wonder if this portal and NIL shit was of no interest to him. When changes come, many people decide F it, I'm just going to retire. Happens all the time where I work.
True but Dolly Parton is at least one exception.Barta will go extinct. He and Kurt are too old and too rich to F around trying to figure this thing out.

If Barta belly flopped or face planted in any way he would mess up his teeth worse than they already are.Even with a Collective, figuring out who gets what and how much will get messy and complicated.
I'm not a Barta guy, but diving into the deep end of the pool is lot more trickier than people think. It needs to be done, but expect a lot of belly flops along the way.
It remains to be seen whether or not K can live without it. Rollie Massimino and Jim Calhoun, to name two examples, came back at smaller schools because they couldn't live without it.And I wonder what pushed Mike Krchyeslskseiskskiki at Duke to retire?

Saying something does not make it so.Barta's a fax machine guy in an era of mobile webmail. He's not cut out for modern ways of thinking and modern ways of doing things.
