I was told by someone on the Iowa Athletic Board, that Warren was told he did not have the support to go forward with a season, and he should proceed as such, unless he wanted to create a clusterfuck of a situation.
I don't know if Delaney would've had more clout to make his own decision or not. I haven't been a huge fan of Warren throughout this process, but his reluctance to speak, may be in relation to fact he'd prefer to play himself, but knows he does not have the needed support.
Look for some movement by Friday though. Not just because Shaun Wade's father arrives that day, but because it sounds like Big 10 University presidents are coming around on having a season, lead by Gene Smith. They want each University to have ability to opt-in or opt out. Smith has been a company man in public, but working his ass off to have a fall football season behind the scenes.
