I think the whole contract clause was to fan the flames of an unhappy fan base. Barta had to find a way to quiet or appease the fans. It was a band aid, but it morphed when media ran with it. Now, it's a running joke. Mark Helfrich, former Oregon coach, even touched on it on FS1 how it's a...

My question is where is Barnett's accountability in this whole equation? What I see is the problem is the execution of the offensive line. While BF is the OC, I think many have forgotten that Barnett is the O-line coach. The offense is nothing new really. We do the same or similar things year...

I'm hoping this was the case with the offense in general. Hayden used to be very coy about strategy. Always, had that "Aw shucks, hope we have a chance," mentality. Also, KF might have been playing it very basic for McNamara's sake to limit the chance he get dinged up. Obviously, it didn't work...

I can't remember, but didn't someone on here post or maybe I read it somewhere, that lesser included infractions (based upon the amount of times an athlete wagered, amount and what sport or etc) were being dealt with with re-education or game suspension(s)?

Agreed 100%. I can't see Dekkers getting out of this one. With DCI already having his phone records (text, location and etc), and the fact his phone was password protected, it will be a very difficult defense. IMHO, he's done. I will be curious if Johnson County goes after Blom's mom much like...

This thing is a two headed dragon in my opinion. You have the fraud issue, but I'm curious to see how the NCAA will go with this. I'm assuming if there is any proof he bet on games he played in or his team played in (which seems already stated) it might be the end of his collegiate career. I...

I know his law firm representing him must try to create doubt and put a spin on things, but I think case is pretty well a done deal. They have his phone records as well as his location while using his protected Iphone. When DCI bit into this, they didn't let go.

I think more of my argument is that we did not execute or were as efficient as we could have been. You take out talent of the equation, it comes down to execution. You take two equal teams and the independent variables such as a chance turnover, field position, and which team more efficiently...

I think it comes down to execution and technique. Or at least that has always been the way under KF. We take 2-3 star kids and build them into potential NFL draft picks, but normally, we rarely have more talent than opponents. Opposing coaching staffs often talk about Hawkeye teams having...

I tend to agree, but I remember Coach Tom Davis having measured success, and even making to the tournament his last year, and was not offered a contract. Never say never. But that being said, I hope that the new AD plays it smart and allows Fran to do what he needs to do. If he leaves, he...

Wow....I was totally unaware of the lack of scholarships alloted for D-1 baseball. That's really sad.

Both have ties to Notre Dame. Even though they just hired a new coach, you never know what could happen in a year or two. Connor being in Indiana, maybe head back to familiar territory?

I saw this last night that he is entering the transfer portal. I would have thought with Iowa's success, that we wouldn't be reading this? Anyone, have any info for the reasoning?

Oooof....let's hope it doesn't go the same for any of our football players. I'm curious how this plays out and the punishment. I would think that the NCAA will make examples out of these athletes, but I would guess it depends on what they bet on and etc.

That's some great points. Obviously, with our recent body of work, prospective receivers and quarterbacks with mobility are knocking down our door. I think when we have recruited and sign the aforementioned type of position players, they don't last due to playing time. Is it KF or BF? KF seems...

Isn't that the truth. Success at one place does not ensure continued success. Many of coach has taken the money and leap of faith and landed on their heads. The grass is not always greener on the other side. I am hoping (for the time being) that KF continues his legacy and the offense is reborn...

He seemed to really enjoy himself and winning the whole thing is another feather in his cap. I also think the team had a 6-10? record before they made their play off run. I'm sure that made it even better.

I'm sure you're correct. I just thought it was interesting that Stoops was coaching in the XFL and interesting he had Chuck Long and Jonathan Hayes on his staff. Both throwbacks from his days at Oklahoma. In ways, I would love to see Stoops take over when KF chooses to step down. But for the...

Stoops got the band back together for the XFL. Chuck Long and Jonathan Hayes were both on his staff. I had to ask myself why would he still be doing it. He has plenty of money and has accomplished so much. Could KF be contemplating stepping down at the end of this season? Barta leaving, is...

Yeah, very odd. I don't like the rumor mill, but a friend of mine seems to think he is done. Not sure where his source was or if it even has legitimacy. But it was odd because he also mentioned Decker the QB for Iowa State is also done. Just seems odd. Although, I will say the U of I has always...
