Wonder how many black athletes remain on Iowa's roster and why!

Just maybe they don’t feel the same way.

$20 million? Sounds greedy.

Dont you get the feeling that Iowa will not fire Ferentz short of a conviction for something?

 

[Titanium999]

Big ten sports will be bankrupt with all these class action lawsuits going on at PSU, Michigan State,Michigan, and now Iowa!

What a mess. Fitz can piss you off but thank god we’re not forced into defending any racist assholery as you would with Ferentz. They are pathetic.

The committee had already served its real purpose.

One area where the plaintiffs will find common ground with Iowa fans. They both want BRIAN Ferentz fired.

Is this an old threat re-emerging or a new threat?

He just received like a seven-year extension to his contract

They would probably be able to fire him for just cause. Also Brian, "just 'cause" they are sick of him. (my oft repeated joke)

Its amazing Iowa has remained a consistently winning team through so many years of regularly having a few black players transfer out.

The suit has Been out there a while. The dissolving of the committee just happened this past Sunday. Will see what the next move is by Kirk.
