Re: A Chaplain for the Iowa Football team? | |
I have personally talked with seven of the nine Regents on several occasions, and exchanged messeges with the other two. Believe it or not, I know what I'm talking about. If you don't believe this action was because of Regent pressure, you are living on the wrong planet. There is genuine anamosity from at least three of the Regents, (I can name names if you want) by the way Iowa has handled the athletic department. They have the ultimate power over the universities. The power of the purse. NO project can move forward without their approval. If Iowa has these grandious plans for Carver, they don't have a prayer of moving ahead unless they clean up their act. They can't remodel the toilets without the Regents approval. I firmly believe that the hiring of a Chaplin (which is what the new position is) is a good step for Iowa. But not something they wanted to do. And Ferentz was forced to kick players off. He would not have based on past actions. It's a garbage dump over there and it needs to be cleaned up.
