Iowa Athletics Department Statement
The University of Iowa Department of Athletics has retained Phil Catanzano, co-founder of the Education and Sports Law Group, to conduct an independent review of the women’s gymnastics program.

Recently, members of the team and staff brought forward concerns regarding the head coach, related to the environment within the program. After learning of these concerns, it was determined an independent review of the program was warranted. We are committed to the well-being of our student-athletes and to ensuring that they train and compete in a respectful and safe environment.

To protect the integrity of the review, Head Coach Larissa Libby has been placed on paid administrative leave. This action is not a disciplinary measure.
