Marty on Iowa
Can the public at large be any more over-the-top, loose cannon-esque— in its criticism of the University of Iowa and the football programs?
Can we please consider the following:
Two ex-hawks are charged with felony sexual assualt and await trial…
While the time line is very fuzzy–and the re-opened investigation will likely solve this–head coach Kirk Ferentz removed messrs. Satterfield and Everson from the team upon learning of the allegatgions.
Secondly, the family of the victim made a choice to take a low-profile route and now may be having second thoughts about having done so. This is understandable given the trauma of the incident and the high-profile alleged assailants.
To me, the mother’s letters to the university, come at a time when, as a parent, I would want justice served on Satterfield and
Everson. I don’t think my first concern would be reform of University policy…that comes later.
Armed with convictions, with satterfield and Everson behind bars, are they then not better equipped to demand reforms, more transparency and accountabilty at every level of the University of Iowa?
The way it is unfolding now, only clouds and confuses the issues and, ironically, may aid the defense at the upcoming trials.
But the calls for the heads of Sally Mason, Gary Barta, Kirk Ferentz are a knee-jerk reaction by people who are either misinformed and bearing agendas…or perhaps both!
