What purpose does this serve by issuing a press release at all for this? Someone please answer me that?
Even if what some are alleging did happen, which would be terrible, why wouldn't Barta and JP handle it privately, and then if anything ever did come of it, there would be an arrest and then there would be a press release describing what happened, who was arrested, what they were arrested for, etc.
But to come out right away with a press release to the entire country serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than to make Iowa State University look bad and throw them under the bus. It's totally unprofessional and extremely petty and lame.
But being that it's Barta.... it is not surprising at all.
Yup all comes down to Barta trying to smear ISU plain and simple.
