One of the most arrest-riddled periods in Iowa sports history? Wow, there have been years with more than 21 arrests!
As far as the Regents, I doubt they mentioned anything to Barta. If they did, it would have been inappropriate. Just like the military, there is a chain of command that must be followed. The Regents make their goals known to the President, the President to the AD, and the AD to the head coach.
