The bill just started rolling in for my Iowa football season tickets. I decided to spend a couple minutes seeing if there was any Hawkeye news on the internet.
I get most of my general sports news from Yahoo! Sports. One of the Headlines is an article about 2 ex-Hawkeyes accused of sexually assaulting a woman on October 14, 2007. Both players left Iowa after shortly afterward. First off, they are accused right now. As far as I know, there has been no conviction. But they are definitely not the first Hawkeyes in recent memory to at least have the cops and lawyers paying attention to them.
I miss when the big some news was whether Tate was allowed to collect the car (or was it cash) for hitting the hole in one during a charity golf outing.
I know bad things happen to sports programs across the country all the time, but maybe the players on the Iowa leadership thing should spend some time learning how to use the media over the summer to highlight all of the good, funny, and heartwarming things that the rest of the players on the team are doing. Maybe a team blog or something would be useful to help highlight the good guys that the media isn’t as quick to cover.
