Sure, but whether we are talking white rural Midwesteners or Black urban kids when it comes to hesitancy, other Big Ten teams (at least many of them) aren't having this same problem. Where is Iowa's leadership on this? You'd hope Barta would relentlessly be pushing for education on the issue across all the teams, having doctors from UI meeting with the athletes every day to stress the importance of vaccination, with each coaching staff then pushing the competitive disadvantage angle. Again, aside from the personal and public health component, it is an eligibility issue. And it doesn't just impact an individual's eligibility - that individual's decision to not get the vaccine may impact his teammate's eligibility too. (Who did get the vaccine).
