The folks in charge of the b1g need to get their shit together and start punishing the big boys.
The b1g is not "too big to fail". People will only put up with so much crap!

We’ve been a better conference than the SEC, top to bottom, the last 3-4 years. Despite Neb weighing us down.

This, apparently, is the consequences of going all out as a conference to be the best.

I don’t like it.

And all those that criticize Barta & the Iowa slogan about graduation & doing it "right", your response please??????

I know there is time for this to change, but who would have guessed that Harbaugh would be running the one clean program in the B1G East?

From the PSU hand slap to the MSU deflections and the now ongoing tOSU committee to undermine the victim’s claims and retain their “blameless” coach, it’s been a cesspool in the B10 lately. Makes me so much happier that our coach is cut from a different and more superior cloth.

That is the 'money over everything, at all costs' mentality. Unfortunately, that issue is rampant in all aspects of society today. Money means more than people.

Don’t forget Minn. Didn’t they get in trouble for a scandal recently?

Of course the Big Ten can reclaim morality..........


Just let Iowa win the conference title for the next 3-4 years with a national championship sprinkled in and you will have your conference morality restored. Deal?....Deal.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

The state of the B1G and its disgraced athletic programs reminds me of this movie scene. We've got the wrong people in powerful positions acting largely with impunity.

How could I forget? Coach took the dive in that one but some of those players involved are still on the Minnesota roster.

 

[Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia]

This is news to me ...maybe I am living in a igloo or something but didn’t catch this since I live on the west coast..
“The Big Ten Network has really been a Big Ten Tax. There’s some quality programming and it sure has been lucrative, but has it changed the place? Did all those millions make everything become so big and so important that it also became so secretive, so isolated, so competitive that basic checks and balances, oversight and core values are lost?

I'm pretty sure all of caps staff know they better mind their p's and q's cap will tolerate know horeshit

 

[TheHawkeyeDudeAbides]

(EX) Maryland HC DJ Jurkin is a disciple of subUrban Meyer and a former SEC coach at Florida. Not surprised the latest crap is a double whammy to the biggest jerk (yes, ahead of Harbaugh and afFleck) in the B1G. Jurkin's is done no matter the judgment of his role in the young man's death. His staff failed to respond correctly. I know some will bring up Doyle and the rhambo cases but the Iowa staff and medical team helped the affected cases and no one died. The kids got the right medical attention.

Meyer not knowing about Zach Smith's OVI charge does not open a door for him to deny knowledge what was going on in Smith's life outside of tOSU football. Meyer and tOSU simply did not do a proper personnel audit and uncover the details of Zach Smith's transgressions before the law. Heads need to roll on this blunder.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Yahoo is a joke. That being said, the conference certainly needs to put some polish on the turd and straighten things out. None of the conferences is completely clean, and the B1G seems to be taking its turn, but Jimmy needs to kick some tail.

And all those that criticize Barta & the Iowa slogan about graduation & doing it "right", your response please??????

There is nothing wrong with the strategy. The whole idea is to prepare these kids for the next phase of their lives, whatever that may be.

It is just that the way they regurgitate it is similar to those Facebook posts that are someone posting a picture of them hanging out with their kids and saying "while you're all out at the bars, this is my Friday night and I wouldn't change it for the world!!!!!1" It gets kind of annoying having to hear about it over and over again.

Interesting. There are a few out there not even smart enough to graduate from Nebraska, good point.

Is Iowa being in the bottom 25% doing it right?

What are your thoughts on Nebraska being kicked out of the AAU in 2011? You do realize that every other school in the B1G is a member, right? Are you really here preaching about Nebraska academics when you're the least respected academic institution in the conference?

Hi ass hat. You picked one year, 2016. In 2015 the NCAA conducted a study across all FBS programs, best 25...worst. Based on GSR and a tiebreaker. Iowa was#17. Guess who was in the bottom 25.

 

[K OKeefe]

Two pedophile institutions, one that knowingly employed a wife abuser, and another that abuses its athletes, so to the casual fan they will get beyond this. The hardcore fans will never let the B1G proclaim the moral high ground again.

And I'm not playing the juvenile's game, but honest question: don't they also count the transfers that would've graduated in that specific year? So in other words, if kids that transferred out--or left early for the NFL--would've been part of the graduating class in 2016, they count against the figure?
I think I am remembering that correctly.
