Some folks here want to scapegoat the university president for the failures of the football team, which are the direct result of incompetency by the coach and his staff. I can imagine some of these folks would use a shotgun to try to kill a fly in their house.
Here is how it works:
KF = responsible for the football program
Barta = reasponsible for the athletic department, which includes the football program. Barta is the boss of and is responsible for the performance of the football coach. If they can't produce a winning team, he need to hire someone who can.
Sally = responsible for the University, which includes the athletic department. Mason is the boss of and is responsible for the performance of the athletic department. If they can't produce a winning athletic department, she needs to hire someone who can.
You see it is pretty simple. I have not once blamed Sally for the failures of the football team, that is on KF. I do hold Barta accountable for the failures of the football program though, as he is KF direct boss, and ultimately it is his job to make sure the football program has a coach that can produce winners.
Now this is where you seem to quit following logic. You see I hold Barta responsible for the dismal state of the Iowa athletic department. Sally is Barta's direct boss, and ultimatley is is her job to make sure the athletic department has an AD that can produce winners.
Since Barta has been in charge Iowa has won the least amount of B1G championship throughout it's athletic programs....and it isn't even close. We have been the WORST athletic department in the B1G, and you think that is getting the job done, cause he can "raise money"? All this from an institution that has the 11th highest athletic dept. budget in the nation, these are the kind of results we should expect, dead last?? That is a failure of an EPIC LEVEL, and as the direct boss of Barta who is in charge of the Iowa athletic department it is her RESPONSIBILITY to do something about it.
