    Expansion tidbit from the NW board

    What to me is most interesting from this discussion is not the Texas angle, but if the Big East and Big Ten actually coordinate an effort to force ND into a decision. The BE has more leverage on ND (get all in or get out), which could work to the B10's advantage. In returning the favor, the...

    Kirk Speraw Named to Coaching Staff

    This is an awesome decision. Successful D1 head coach, recruiting ties beyond Iowa to southeastern states. Recommended by Lute and others, plus an existing relationship with FM. Hawkeye pedigree. Great news!

    ESPN's Katz: Morrill, Gregory Would Listen to Iowa

    Let's run down (metaphorically, not literally) the list of candidates: Pearl - not interested Mr. Davis JR - not interested Villanova guy - not interested Jake - not "flashy" enough and too many ties to McD Drew - too "edgy" with recruiting techniques for our taste Gregory - hasn't win enough...

    Let's be clear, for those critical of Barta's hiring abilities.

    Barta and Sally should have been fired after the sex scandal. He said he did not do anything wrong, but the point is he didn't DO much at all. It was an embarrassment. A leader who lets something that horrible get out of hand should not be entrusted with the legacy of Iowa athletics. If...

    Barta: Leader ... or fundraiser?

    Let's look at Barta's resume Fundraising is certainly a strength, though the BTN fills the bank account regardless of AD competency. His predecessor hired Ferentz (win), Alford (loss), Bluder (win), Brands (win), initiated Kinnick remodel (win). Barta has hired Lickliter (loss). He knows...
