Kills me to face it, but all Iowa athletics are now irrelevant on a national level now with the exception of wrestling. Mens or womens side. There's not a team Iowa fields against an opposing top 15 team that they are favored to win, again save wrestling. This will continue to be so as long as we retain both the president and athletic director imo. Mason's more content watching CSPAN2's booktv and drinking merlot than being bothered with a football or basketball game. And Barta's main quest (since he doesn't have to worry about Sally) is where to book his next golf vacation. If the U of I wants an atmosphere conducive to winning on the playing field, it starts there. Until this is dealt with, nothing will change...coaches or results included.
