As an attorney, I find this ruling bizarre if not inexplicable. I haven't read the opinion but from the coverage it appears the judge admits the search was unconstitutional but still grants the rouge agents absolute immunity. That's just bullshit (a technical legal term) imo. #Hawkeyes #Cyclones
Maybe he can start by rehiring some the Gazette's best long-time reporters. Proof's in the pudding.
One new thing we've learned is that Chuck Schumer is an excellent spelunker. He definitely knows how to cave. And being spineless is apparently a benefit when doing so.

Congratulations to Scott Unash & Mark Dukes on their run as "The Gym Class on KGYM" Another Rob Norton master stroke. They did things their way. I did things my way. It worked, I think. Please keep supporting what's left of local media, be it print, TV, radio, etc.

Chuck is not the person I got to know when we served together in the Iowa House + for several years thereafter. We may have had different perspectives on key issues but I always regarded him as a person of integrity. That appears to be no longer the case and it's sad to see that's how he fades away.

I didn't intend to get diverted this morning. Oh, well... This is my best recollection of some of the "recent" (1970s on) history of certain aspects of the #Hawkeyes Athletic Department operations. Part of that comes from information provided to me at that time by the individuals directly involved.

Morning Consult finds 49 out of 50 U.S. Governors have a net positive approval rating. The one exception? Kim Reynolds of Iowa, who is five points underwater pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/gov...

The next task for Ben McCollum is rebuilding Iowa's roster. He had to do it last year at Drake, and now he has to do it again. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/03/27/m...
