Agree 100% with you. I have also so much appreciated what Iowa has had to do to be strong in football. I am an old school guy and think Ferentz certainly is.
Sadly though, the players now have more power than they've ever had and having a bigger stage than ever to be heard. Like it or not, the "old school military style" camp is forever going to be changed; and coaches either adjust or they are gone. It's simply a reality and a big part of me is very sad about that.
I just want to comment to add that it's possible to hold a high standard, if change is implemented properly.
