I'm not voting for any of those. There should be an option for "They Shouldn't Have Had a Press Conference Without KF and/or GB Present and No New Info Available"...

This is the correct answer. Either Kirk make a quick detour in his private jet for the scheduled presser or just stay silent until tomorrow morning when he has been back.

Shane, while i agree...you know a PC does not get approved unless it goes through Barta, right?? He sat in...well per Jon....and Mike Hlas column...

"Barta left Iowa City Wednesday to go to Naples, Fla., where an annual University of Iowa Alumni Association fundraising golf event will be held Friday. He couldn’t have adjusted his travel plans? Really?

“He made the best decision he could make based on what he needs to do,” said Iowa senior associate athletic director Jane Meyer, who didn’t flinch from taking questions herself after the press conference. and decided not to come back and allow a PC to take place so if your issue is having the PC, well that is on the AD"

COME ON MAN!!!! REALLY GARY???

Then I vote for Gary! That was easier than I thought!
 




Why is there such a need to blame in the first place.

Because the press conference idea was the dumbest move possible if Kirk or Gary weren't going to be there for it...the rest of this situation will be figured out in time, but today was a stupid move.
 




Absolutely right, Shane: I have been thinking for 5 minutes as to who has handled a situation worse than our Ath Dept- thought maybe BP, but don't think so.
 


Why is there such a need to blame in the first place.

Because prime college athletes don't end up in the hospital with near kidney failure for nothing! Whether it was from training or supplements or a combination, that still is the responsibility of the training staff!
