Ferentz not going to replace disbanded diversity committee
- Thread starter intrepid27
- Start date
Current players? Player hosts? lol!
What's next? Kirk's wife says Iowa isn't racist?
You are truly going rogue trying to cite that as evidence of a non-issue. It's almost evidence AGAINST your position. I almost respect it..

The ex-players making the claims didn't talk about it either while they were in the program. Why would you make waves in an environment that has a history of retaliation?
Sneakers/grass, the opponents band, chuck ball, 'trajectory in the B1G tourney', basketball brand.
Link?
Is the new 'why are people so offended these days?' like they weren't offended for decades?
Apparently there was some sort of mass exodus at ISU.
I just saw a blurb saying CMC's '23 class is Top 25 nationally.
Thinker, from Kirk's point of view, Doyle was a model coach. He spent 20 years in the program and received special recognition from KF. He would still be there if there was no outside input. Kirk is certainly making sure there will be no other changes unless he wants them.
Who determines that the issues are fixed? Wouldn’t that be something that the now disbanded committee would be looking at?
Counterpoint, why would someone stay in a program that is still experiencing issues that were once exposed? The lack of transfers is my biggest reason for optimism.
Because Iowa sells “NFL, NFL, NFL….” in recruiting. You can easily see how somebody like a Wadley would stay even if he was being mistreated because he thought it was the best for his future. Just because someone doesn’t leave doesn’t mean they aren’t being mistreated.
Also Kirk lies, so maybe they believed that he would change and the small things that were happening (like a diversity committee) would continue.
Iowa is not the only avenue to the NFL lol. Especially with how easy it to transfer today. Literally no penalty for transferring now.
There hasn’t been a single player who’s complained about the environment in the past two years. All that I’ve seen that have transferred with the exception of Deuce and Charlie Jones have said nice things about Iowa. One even came back for the Spring game.
I don’t think Iowa’s having a single problem with the issues that former players were having. I think that progress has been made but that doesn’t mean things are okay or make up for the things that were done.
Think about it, the Iowa program is literally under a microscope right now. There is absolutely no way that a single coach would be putting themselves into a situation with a player that would jeopardize anything. I mean, there’s an active lawsuit happening against the OC at this very moment. Everyone is acting on their best behavior. Hopefully that’s there to stay.
This’ll be a focal point for Iowa for years and hopefully the coaches realize their terrible mistakes that they made prior and don’t fall back because if a current player would come out with something it could be a detriment.
Just a shot in the dark question.. but do you think if you were working for a company who was under investigation for employee mistreatment, that company would be mistreating their employees? Not a chance.
Those kids deserve to be treated well, but that doesn’t make the coaches that were involved saints now. Absolutely ridiculous to say otherwise.
If I was working for a company that was under investigation and wanted to change I would hope it would put in programs that would become the new norm.
Perhaps they put in other programs (I have not heard of any) but to have a committee less than two years and then go back to status quo would not lead me to believe my company was committed to real change.
