This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I don't know anything about any accusations made by NDTwice
against the Iowa program but I have followed Iowa for years and the reasons Ferentz has been a long time coach has nothing to do with the location of Iowa City or in spite of any misdoings in my view.
Rather -- [1] He almost always puts a competitive team on the field. [2] He gets as much out of his players as probably any coach in the country. [3] Players like him and like playing for him. I happened to have recently spoken to a former African-American Iowa player who has transferred to Illinois State. Forget his name but he plays tight end. He mentioned players really like the head coach. This was just a few months ago in 2020, not back in 2007 or 2011.
