It's been a couple of weeks, and I'm not sure I have all of the timing down, but it's been on my mind for a few days. I thought I could come here to get straightened out.
As I remember.....
1) Shortly before Christmas day the SWARM guy hit the radio scene to publicly shame Barta and the Iowa athletic department. He pointed out Iowa was not supporting the collective the way other schools were.
2) A day or two later, the famous "Barta e-mail" saying nothing w/ a lot of words
3) The tweet from Iowa football encouraging fans to support the SWARM
4) Another "official" e-mail from Iowa athletics promoting the Iowa football Tweet......
Did Kirk force Barta's hand by with the tweet supporting the SWARM or was this all discussed and well-orchestrated chain of events? Maybe I missed something or have the events out of order.....or making a big deal out of nothing. The timing of the Iowa football tweet seems odd especially when followed by step 4....(which basically says "oh yeah, go out and support the SWARM).....
