For all of you who have posted calling for Gary Barta's head, it might interest you to know that, as of yesterday, Iowa is one of only two universities in the United States to put both men's and women's basketball teams in the NCAA tournament, put their football team in a bowl game and finish in the top 5 nationally in Wrestling - as a matter of fact, in the top 2. The other school? Ohio State. Pretty good company.
Not to come off as a jerk, but I think you are missing the point others were trying to make about Barta. It has nothing to do with current year results and everything to do with the track record of all programs (men and women) under his time as Iowa's AD. Iowa has been consistently at the bottom of the B1G when it comes to the Director's cup and I believe that it was John Miller who pointed out that Iowa athletics has by far the least amount of conference championships over the last several year. Just
pathetic and is something that should be considered when reviewing the man's entire
portfolio.
Is it really pathetic? Maybe a slight over reaction?
Have you reviewed the man's entire portfolio? How are his investments doing? Oh, did you mean reviewing his collection of paintings or drawings? How do they look? What does that have to do with his performance as an athletic director? You obviously don't know what portfolio means. The word you were probably looking for is 'dossier'.
You know me, always trying to help. Wouldn't want you to look like an idiot.
