We have different views of law firms. To me a respected law firm is the equivalent of a respected used car lot. I work alone with a dozen lawyers and have for 20 years, and most have 0 real life experience, even old ones. They just dot the i’s and cross the t’s and can’t relate to much else. The depos showed the true nature of this case. The u just wanted it gone because of the insanity surrounding “race” at the time. The aggrieved were just a bunch of uncoachable dudes. They tell them up front that Iowa isn’t for everyone.None of this refutes the bottom-line conclusion of Hausch and Blackwell. That investigation was comprehensive in scope without determining illeglity whereas the subsequent lawsuit involved a smaller number of players which alleged specific violations of federal statutes. These are separate and distinct.
HB reported a racial and diversity fire inside the program which the University did not dispute. The player lawsuit was settled so we will never know whether there was any fire behind the violation of civil rights smoke, as determined by an impartial jury.
your error is trusting a “unbiased law firm” I know some “unbiased used car salesman”. Same thing.None of this refutes the bottom-line conclusion of Hausch and Blackwell.
