We Are I-O-W-A. The culture.

[MelroseHawkins]

I'm not sure where I heard this whether it was on ESPN or sports talk radio, but that's beside the point. They were discussing the "Iowa way" being viewed as the "White way" but were actually defending it and arguing that it's more of a business like mentality. It was a very compelling argument, but the point was made that if that were the case then the players as well as the coaching staff should be held to a professional code of conduct. Regardless of whether or not it is felt that the comments made to the players were racist, or simply uncalled for, if the allegations surfaced in the corporate world it would not be tolerated so it shouldn't be tolerated in the world of college sports.

I agree with that. You did a good job of explaining what they were meaning with the segment and the line between The Iowa Way and running as a corporation. In Iowa's program, it's all about players conforming (black or white) and looking the part. I don't think they apply that concept to one race and not the other. They expect all their football players to conform. I believe KF has had difficulty accepting the culture or change in culture over the years, not necessarily individual players based on their race.

Time to do something about that Zoo Fraternity in the football program.
