Leathernecks Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 More about the Iowa mess. Earlier I mentioned my doubts about their investigation, and they apparently didn't even contact one of the most outspoken players who supposedly had it as bad as anybody. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29517486/iowa-football-kirk-ferentz-see-black-players-speak-program-racial-inequities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dismissal and subsequent treatment by the program wasn’t unwarranted, and he’s not been especially contrite about what he did to earn his way out of town. I don’t disagree with that. I don’t think he's the best source for this stuff, but there were a lot of things in that article that were corroborated by multiple people. He's far from the only one saying things either.

jv1972iu Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 8 hours ago, Sark said: I think it was factual but it makes DJK much more sympathetic than he probably is. He was well known to be engaged in “illicit commerce” in Iowa City and his dismissal was related to multiple violations of that. Ferentz didn't have a problem keeping him around for four years, it seems. Strange thing to do if the kid was guilty of multiple violations. Ferentz sounds like an old school a-hole, in my opinion. I hope his program suffers for this and he ultimately is released. Screw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost posted last year when he had his hamstring injury that I could see him never playing at PU again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why risk millions of dollars in such an uncertain environment when he can possibly be the next Tyreek Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have the chance to make the kind of money he can make, I don’t know how anyone could blame him for doing what he’s doing. It’d be different if his draft status was in question. He was going to be a first rounder regardless of whether he played this year or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I'm a teammate, nahh.. I dont support his decision at all. Either youre with us or not. He isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 FWIW my opinion on this has nothing to do with him being at Purdue. But all of you guys that are ok with this or support this... Why wouldnt David Bell sit out then too? Where is the line drawn at ok and not ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to sit out this year and play next year before leaving early for the draft, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I can understand in this climate kids sitting out the year. The time I can't tolerate it is when kids decide to sit out a bowl game. To me you play the whole but sit out the final game is Not a good look. If it were in charge of an NFL team I would be very leery of drafting those players.

I agree but sadly its not that way with kids any more. 2000 transfers every year, kids playing all season then sitting the bowl game you worked to get to.
