Might be a good idea to drop the current AD a note about the state of Iowa basketball. I for one would like to see Bruce Pearl back in Iowa City.

Been there, done that....he does not reply.

An actual letter would probably get read, but even if he received 50,000 letters Barta would not fire Fran.

It would be better to flood President Harrald with letters to get rid of Barta. And for the students to organize a protest on Harrold’s lawn.

Email Gary and tell him to resign due to severely sucking at his job.

 

[Buffalo43]

Maybe Trump can help us

It won't do any good until the big donors demand it. Don't see that happening, Barta has the majority of them in his pocket.

That is not true. He is only tolerated. He is a hard person to like by donors. I was one and told the Levitt Center I was through with giving as long as Barta was AD. I was told my message would be passed on up the line.

Michigan fans did it to get rid of their FB coach....and it worked.

Bless you.

 

[CO_hawk]

He or one of his staff replied to a message of mine 6-7 years ago.

And if I told you wolverines would make great house pets, would you believe that?

Our students who can't be bothered to go to a game?

 

[hawkeye_1997]

Contacting barta is worthless unless you can get him to fire himself.

If your going to take the time, write the President. Get Barta replaced and go from there.

I’ll pay for the free pizza!

And how much money have you given over the past mr. smart ass. I can name names discussed in my conversation but it serves no purpose in this public message board. My mailbox contains a request for a U of I fund raiser almost every other day. Certainly weekly. Money talks, bullshit walks . What is your plan for making a change ?

 

[jasonrann]

Haha, good luck with that.

Honestly, how many students really care.

I'll give you $9M reasons Fran's not going anywhere. After July it is $7.8M reasons why. If Barta was the CEO of a company he would have been canned long ago.

But it wouldn't be totally "free", would it? j/k

 

[justinjdry]

I hope your post goes viral and then gets shown on Good Morning America.

 

[Franisdaman]

It all starts with the UI President.

The UI President extended Barta's contract.

Barta extended Fran and the UI President ok'd the deal.

Nothing is changing anytime soon.

So, if we cut out the "middle man" we get a new coach?

LOL....i just don't think anything is changing anytime soon

The UI President has to be sick of the results and has to be pressured by donors before anything changes

Well, if we drop the next two, and I really hope we don't, then something has to give.

 

[ChrisVarick]

I'm sure he only reads his secret email address that takes $$$ to get.

yeah, that would be a collapse, to say the least

I think even Barta would have to have a double sasparilly.

I don't think hiring Pearl, especially since he is almost 60 would be a good hire. 10 years ago would have been much better. If they were to move on from Fran, which they will not, they need to hire someone who is between the age of 35-50.

but there is no way Iowa is gonna pay $9M to get rid of Fran

 

[Hawksfor3]

Except the "Banker".

 

[HawkIDrummer]

There's no way Iowa should HAVE TO play $9M to get rid of Fran.

Him or Bobby Stoops

Exactly. Thanks Barta. Idiot.

 

[Franisdaman]

Exactly. Thanks Barta. Idiot.

who's the Arizona AD? They will pay $10.3M no matter what to get rid of Sean Miller.

Even if the FBI comes to Miller's U of A office and takes him out in handcuffs Miller gets his $10.3M.

Crazy.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

One would think there is a morality clause that would make the buyout null and void. At the least, I’d negotiate a lower buyout due to him damaging the reputation of the university.
