Just show even more of your true colors and admit that you don't think "innocent until proven guilty" should be a thing.

Randy coming to Tommy’s side. The Rag not making any friends in Ames.
The only piece I can agree with is JP needs to address the accusations.
Didn’t he jump to defend Bill when he’s had accusations in the past?

Lol why have you been so personally offended by everything in this thread?
You mean like how I have consistently said the AD needs to investigate this?
Edit: hell, I even had a comment that it would be ******** to fire him without an investigation
The university not responding to FOIA requests seems problematic.
Clown journalists. Nobody should have to waste their time with these guys.
For who? The less than 30k Des Moines Register subscribers?

Yeah, and I think best practice is to say “hey, we’ve forwarded it on to legal/whoever” but I’m not sure that’s required.
Iowa state should definitely not be ignoring open records requests, but have they failed to comply or are they just taking their time?
The initial response would definitely be some kind of timeline and any potential cost associated with the search, because their can be a charge for FOIA requests. I've been a part of foia requests before, and depending on the request it's can be a big pain in the ass. Records department will reach out to anyone who may have a record and ask for an estimate on how long it will take to find the information. I would guess members of media know this and try to do their best to keep the request simple.
That was my first thought.
Someone said it earlier, if you don't say SOMETHING, then the media will write their own narrative, which by default is usually to sensationalize the issue to get noticed and get readers. You have to get your story/message out there.
Ken Miller on Miller and Condon made it sound like they ignored them. But Birch's article says that their open records request for records relating to Title 9 complaints and investigations was denied. So it was acknowledged it appears.
Iowa State, women's soccer coach Matt Fannon agree to two-year contract extension
The contract extension comes less than two weeks after the Des Moines Register published former players' accusations that Fannon had mistreated them.

So it sounds like there was a response but it was denied. Apparently the director of the Iowa Freedom of Information Council said that the request was broad enough for the school to comply and the lack of response was "troubling".
Pretty sure I'd just ask for any emails between Jamie and the soccer admin person and coach.
JP giving an extension makes you think they have looked into this and decided there was no wrongdoing. But if that was the case why not come out and say that instead of letting the register run with this story? Odd situation.
