    '18 Athletic Department Study Showed Serious Racial Bias in Iowa Football

    POWERFUL STUFF..... If the U of I was aware of racial problems in early 2019 as this article documents, it places the situation in a whole new light....especially from a legal standpoint. Having prior knowledge and not taking action adds legitimacy to the claims and zeros to the settlement...

    Additional year of eligibility for spring athletes

    The granting of additional years of eligibility for those athletes who completed their regular seasons (i.e. basketball, wrestiing, gymnastics, swimming, etc) would not only be a hard sell to the NCAA but would also place a demand on what most certainly would be strained resources. Any sport...

    Given the total cancellation of spring practice.....

    ... the NCAA should relax contact and practice restraints on football teams for the summer of 2020. Football players, for the most part, are on campus and available to take advantage of such actions.

    Additional year of eligibility for spring athletes

    I am pushing the idea that any athlete in a spring sport (i.e. track, softball, tennis, baseball, rowing or golf) should receive another year of eligibility. Don't know if it'll have any impact but perhaps it plants an idea with someone.

    Iowa Softball 2020

    INow that all spring competition has been suspended I am pushing the idea that any athlete in a spring sport (i.e. track, softball, tennis, baseball, rowing or golf) should receive another year of eligibility. Don't know if it'll have any impact but perhaps it plants an idea with someone.

    Monika Czinano First Team All Big 10

    Monika was 2nd Team All Big Ten. https://bigten.org/news/2020/3/2/big-ten-womens-basketball-honors-announced-on-btn.aspx Even so, Czinano has been a breath of fresh air all season especially in light of Megan's graduation! Honestly, her selection to 2nd Team All Big Ten was somewhat of a...

    Iowa NCAA tournament watch

    Historically speaking, if the NCAA can stick it to Iowa, it will. Will be infinitely more relieved when I see it in print.

    Please accept women's athletics or leave it alone

    Absoutely agree. The whole "anti Title IX" thought process is archaic and quite frankly beneath the "true" IOWA fan.

    Loss to Ohio State - Should have seen it coming.

    Went to bed last night in a daze. Didn't know how to analyze IOVVA's subservient effort in the loss to Ohio State so I do what I always do .... this morning I went to the stats. The HAVVKEYE'S stats were not that different than any other regular season game which would have ended in a win. 35%...

    Lisa Bluder's Successful Point Guards

    I moderate a FB group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/185489058879706/) which is more of a news feed but occasionally I make some commentary based on research. Katleen Doyle is a senior and leaving the program after a highly successful career. When thinking about it, Lisa Bluder has had an...

    What was learned from Penn State ....

    Interesting observation. Your knowledge of the pro game far exceeds mine. I would say that Coach Bluder's use of two posts is not necessarily a lifelong commitment to the strategy but rather 1) Recognizing and evaluating the talent she has and 2) Using it in the most effective manner. These...

    End of game

    Underwood did shake hands with Cafferty on the walk by. It was after this that Fran got to the Assistant coaches and the whole thing played out.

    Any free alternatives to Hawk women besides BTN+?

    None that I've been able to find. It's even worse when you the Hawks play in the Thanksgiving tourneys/classics. Then you have to subscribe to FloHoops.
