The opposite is actually the case and it's not just at Iowa, it's at every BCS school.
The days of cover-ups are over. It's a feather in a reporter's cap if he can find anything negative these days. Do you honestly believe that the media is still covering things up in Iowa City? They ran stories on players getting tickets for alcohol possesion. This is a "crime" that 99.9% of college students could be charged with and is less serious than speeding, in my opinion.
With the internet, it's impossible to cover-up anything.
Anything that football or basketball players do is going to be reported in Ames or Iowa City.
