Bc you're standing firm in the face of common sense all the time is ridiculous.

I don't - i literally apologize and side with other posters points and views several times a day... all while getting aggressive posts from you. I just give my reaction to things. It's fun. I'm gonna go ahead and keep doing it.

Well let's not give the media a pass here for the fun of it. So it wasn't till yesterday or today that they even 'investigated' it to find this out. With as bad as Iowa's been one would think they'd have done this sooner. It's easy to see why the school didn't release any kind of release bragging about it. If Iowa/Barta is anything they are somewhat self aware of how things look after how they've extended KF and all ....
Which to me is terrible because if you KNOW how that was going to look back then and then do what they did by not announcing it at all just to try temporarily avoiding this (media scrutiny) knowing full well it'd eventually come out then your just a special kind of stupid as they say...

BTW, this is Gary Barta's house:

Come on, man. You really didn't expect him to live in a shack? Maybe in a tent down by the Iowa river.

All the Iowa coaches contracts are publicly released, how you exactly think he was "sneaking" anything is cute.

Couldn’t be more wrong man!!! if it’s so public way wasn’t it announced?? I bet I know why!!! Lmao

 

[RobHowe]

Come on, man...didn't you see earlier this week when Rob assured us tough questions are asked? That the media is not a bunch of bootlickers? I'm sure he'll come back on for more drivel to reassure everyone.

Nope. I've said my piece for now. Thanks for thinking of me, though. It's nice to know you care.

Scott filed the FOIA a while back. The UI is not obligated to release the information right away to the requester. Aren't facts great?

Ah well that makes sense too then. Why wouldn't they drag their feet at providing something when it's as simple as clicking a mouse.

Did you really miss the point?

They probably were hoping things on the court improved to make for a better climate. That have a certain amount of time to respond to the FOIA. My guess is they took all of it.

Bruce Weber just signed a contract extension this year with a 2.5 million dollar buyout that goes down $500,000 every year.

Steve Alford just signed a contract extension this year with a 6.2 million dollar buyout that goes down to 3.6 million the following year and 1 million the following year after that.

Steve Piekiell just signed a contract extension this year with a 5 million dollar buyout that goes down 1 million every year.

How about B1G coaches

Chris Holtman - $18 million multiplied by six, or $108 million, to Ohio State
Archie Miller contract is 24 million until 2024 - If IU wants to buyout his contract, IU would owe Miller 100-percent of his remaining salary before March 31, 2022 and 50-percent of his remaining salary any date after that
Brad Underwood's is 8.5 million

The 2 years makes sense to get Patrick on the team. Wondering if he threatened to walk if he didn't get it?

 

[Kennyfromminne]

I saw where Barta was like the 5th or 6th highest paid State employee at well over a million a year What a crime. Its hard enough to see mediocre coaches making millions but a bumbling fool like Barta. Wonder what it would cost to get rid of him

Apparently he's untouchable

 

[Kennyfromminne]

Geez, that's not true at all. I will happily admit that I am wrong, I do all time.... let's see some data to prove it - or you guys can just cut me down for no reason what so ever. I know I do it to all of you constantly right?

Data??

I realize the Prez isn't going to fire Barta, so who would have to make that decision if he won't?

Board of regents?

 

[Kennyfromminne]

I don't have the best memory in the world but I can't remember Iowa waiting this long to announce an extension. This was done almost two months ago. It could have been because Barta was taking his leave, but he's been at every sporting event for football and men's basketball throughout the seasons.

Scott Dochterman from Land of 10 filed a FOIA to get the information. Unusual that it took him doing that for the info to come out.

This is whole thing smells like shit

Pathetic. Can we get rid of Barta already.... good god

The very fact a FOIA request had to be used, shows that the U of I knows that this is a public relations nightmare. If we were NCAA bound and all was rosy, Gary would have farted this all out with a presser to every possible media outlet.

A public humiliation as it were. Nothing more than another cluster f by our snaggled toothed leader Gary Barta.

 

[tksirius]

Board of regents?

Do they have that authority?

This is whole thing smells like shit

I feel the same way.

That worked well for them.
