It was a difficult summer for Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes football program. In the midst of nationwide protests against racial injustice, several former and current Iowa players accused the program of racial insensitivity.

The unrest eventually led to the dismissal of longtime strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle, but no other coaches inside the program were disciplined. Some changes did come to the program in the wake of the scandal, including Ferentz lifting his ban on players using social media.

“The group is represented by Tulsa civil rights attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons and has additional demands, including attorney’s fees; the creation of a permanent Black male senior administrator position in Iowa athletics; mandatory anti-racist training for athletics staff; the establishment of a board of advisers including Black players and anti-racist professionals to oversee the football program; and tuition waivers for any Black athlete who did not graduate with a degree during Kirk Ferentz’s 22-year tenure."

I'm surprised he's not asking Ferentz to give back his four undeserved Big Ten COY Awards....
