Suspensions hit UNI athletics | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register

I appologize if this has already been posted but I didn't see it anywhere else when I looked around. Surprised that as much attention this would get if it were the Hawks why it isn't one of the more talked about topics today.

Probably because 3/4's of them were for mip's from busted house parties, nothing really to get worked up about.

It was probably just ONE party too that they were all at...

 

[EggMcClone]

And it says that they had to stop recruiting three swimming recruits because they were at the party. Whoops.

Well, I might disagree if the following is true. Is this a UNI policy, or an NCAA rule:

Dannen said the women's swimming program was forced to stop recruiting three potential athletes, all of the them underage, because they were at a party where alcohol was served.

Are you implying that recruitable student athletes are going to parties with alcohol being served when they are on recruiting visits? I don't believe that! I hope we never sign anybody like that! :wink:

I am pretty positive that is not an NCAA rule. I know of plenty of recruits at ISU and other schools who go to parties and I don't think thats a big deal afterall it is part of the college experience.

MIP's just aren't that big of a story, recruits going to parties happens everywhere from USC to a Division III school in Iowa.

It hasn’t got much attention yet because the charges did not include a gang rape, the University and Athletic Department did not make a concerted effort to keep the investigation “in-house”, and the University did not purposely withhold letters from the victim’s family to the University President.

Yeah, because that's the only arrest press Iowa athletics gets.

See MontyBurns' signature - the majority of the problems have been drinking violations. So, I guess if these 18 guys aren't a big deal, then neither are about 18 of Iowa's arrests.

Yep, why make a big deal out of these?

Cedric Everson, sexual assault
Abe Satterfield, sexual assault
James Cleveland, possession of a controlled substance
Arvell Nelson, possession of a controlled substance
Dominique Douglas, theft
Dana Brown, domestic assault
Anthony Bowman, credit card fraud
Dominique Douglas, credit card fraud
Ben Evans, DUI
Dana Brown, theft
Bradley Fletcher, DUI
Dana Brown, theft

Pretty minor stuff, not a big deal. Nothing to see here, move along folks.

Typical Hawkeye fashion -- making it look like it's not a big deal. Go back to complaining about your coaches.

I believe that something like 13 or 14 of them were all underage drinking at ONE party a couple weeks ago.

How many of those guys are still on the team? 1?

Yeah, gotta admire that tough 2 felonies and you're gone...unless you're a good player in which case it's 3 felonies and you're gone policy. Pretty damn impressive.

I was there.

Sorry to hear that you will be out for a few games...

lol, good thing I don't play for UNI right? don't worry, we'll still win this week (both Panthers and Cyclones)

 

[ajk4st8]

A party at UNI?

Sounds good to me! (Missing the days on Tremont St)

 

[HandSanitizer]

Underage drinking....??? Comeon. Back in the day before the Internet you would probably see the whole football team at a party, drinking and smoking weed untouched by the media or cops. This UNI issue is stupid.. 18 athletes pratically all at one party getting underage drinking is weak. I don't think they need suspended. Their coaches just need to have practice with them and once practice is over put 60 minutes on the clock. make the run and do drills until the throw up or pass out. Lessoned learned.
