Now we have a he-said she-said on our hands and I'm sorry, but I've got to side with Iowa here. I still am disappointed in how the University handled this overall and hopefully things will change on cases like this in the future but the mother is not looking good right now and many things she said has got to come under question. Like I said, let's wait and see what Iowa has to say before castrating the university. An anonymous lady makes allegations (some of them seeming pretty unbelieveable) and everyone assumes she's telling the truth without hearing both sides.

After reading this things are making more sense and the mother looks more and more like a piece of crap and I hope she rots in hell. She's a complete scumbag and I can't begin to express how much I feel sorry for her daughter because she had no one to turn to including her piece of shit parents.

Mason said U of I football coach Kirk Ferentz and athletic director Gary Barta met with the alleged victim and her father at the family's request.

"That was her choice and her father's choice," the U of I president said. "In the future, we've decided to take athletics out of it all together. That's not even going to be an option in the future."

Exactly. Her parents are fucking stupid. You want your daughter to meet with the FOOTBALL coach of the players who allegedly raped her?? He's a god damn football coach you fucking tards. Go to the police and shut the fuck up.

"Her coach and team were disgusted by her and made sure she knew she was a loser. Her team for the most part, was actually cruel to her, asking her to leave gatherings, parties and even dorm rooms," the mother wrote.

As for the mother's report that her daughter was ostracized by her coach and former teammates, "the coach is devastated," Mason said. "I don't think that's how the coach feels about what transpired," she added.

My initial feeling when I heard the mother's comments was that she may have been truthful, but after reading that I started to become suspicious. If she stuck with the football players taunting her, that is believeable. Disgusting, but believeable. But no way in fuck am I dumb enough to believe HER own team and coaches were doing the same thing. Come on now, you can't really be stupid enough to believe that? And why in the first interview did she not even mention this to the Iowa City Press-Citizen? If this were true, nothing would have pissed me off more than this if I were the parents. She didn't mention even a peep of this until the 2nd interview. I'd find it hard to believe if I had known and respected this woman, but there's no way in hell I'd even consider believing this garbage from an anonymous woman.

On Thursday, Mason and Ferentz spoke more freely than they have previously about the university's handling of the case.

"I have no sense anyone was trying to do anything nefarious," the U of I president said. "We look foolish because we made mistakes."

Good to see they at least admit some mistakes were made. But anyone that thinks there was some sort of cover up is just plain fucking stupid (or an Iowa hater). There was no cover up. There may have been some questionable decisions made, and like the U of I President admits, changes have to be made in the future including having a specific office that oversees assaults.

What is really lost in all of this is the poor guidance this young woman was given. Her parents are obviously pieces of shit, dumb, and only after money and her university mishandled this whole situation. So basically she had no one to turn to. That's a shame.

Jon,

ah, memories

sin,

the U of Colorado, Gary Barnett and the Denver media, Spring 2004.

People are fucking stupid and the first thing anyone says they believe. I could get on a message board and claim Bob Stoops had sex with a cow and before Stoops could defend himself everyone in this country would have come to the conclusion that Stoops is, indeed, a cow fucker and should be fired because Oklahoma needs to do better than hiring a cow fucker to be their football coach. Especially Texas fans. They'd all pile on because they've got such blind homerism.

So there you have it, Stoops is a cow fucker because I, ye of anonymous name, said so!

It might have been believable if you had said Mike Gundy and not Stoops...

No cover-up? Depends on one's definition of cover-up. The simple fact that Iowa told the family they'd handle the situation rather than seeing that it went to the police could easily be construed a cover-up. We are talking about a felony here, keeping this "in house" was at bare minimum highly negligent, and I don't think the term cover-up is out of line. We aren't talking grand conspiracy type cover-up, Iowa weren't acting as real villains, but it was still definitely shady.
