What part of that article, at all, would make it sound like he's "good to go"?

It wouldn't be a season of Iowa ftball without a moped incident would it? Glad he's not too hurt anyway. Alot of the players live off campus especially the upper classmen. Those things are the cheapest most convenient way for them to get around. Don't see a ban on them happening.... As nice as that'd be.

having lived in and gone to school in iowa city - a 'moped' would be a great way to get around - especially the parking aspect. iowa city is spread out - especially given they are going to be on the west side every day for practice, etc and many classes are on the east side. parking in IC sucked back in the day - i'm sure it hasn't improved.
i think a helmet would be pretty mandatory - heck, most bicyclists wear them. and hey, they wear them in their sport! if nothing else, just strap the football helmet on!

I don't expect a moped ban, but Kirk needs to require a helmet. Five other UI athletic teams require helmets.

That made me chuckle. I work in downtown IC. Those scooters are everywhere. Funny how the football players are like magnets for cars, though. Have to drive those things defensively and always assume a car doesn't see you.

I just thought it's ironic the one sport where they wear a helmet, but the coaches are not requiring them.

I don't know what parking was like in your version of "back in the day", so maybe it has improved some. But it still sucked *** as recently as May 2013.

Time for the semi-annual moped safety lecture.

Just unreal
That's great news but damn it I almost had my wife convinced to let me buy that Harley I've been dreaming about for years and now this will probably throw a wrench in to my whole plan.
