When a lack of effort, heart, and pride is noticed not only by the fans and the media but also among teammates, clearly the alleged criminal/thug conglomerate's creed has poisonously spread. Somewhere along the line, this selfish notion has been allowed to exist. Now is the time for someone to step up and fix the problem that is sure to worsen with each incoming recruiting class. Whether it's Gary Barta, Kirk Ferentz, or recruiting coordinator Eric Johnson, there needs to be change in the type of person Iowa is recruiting.
If you are willing to neglect your duty as a role model to thousands of wide-eyed kids sporting your jersey, you are not welcome at Iowa. If you have the audacity to betray your teammates, who have worked so hard, by getting in trouble with the law, you are not welcome at Iowa. If you aren't willing to sacrifice your left arm to run out with "The Swarm," you are not welcome at Iowa.
Once upon a time, different law enforcement lurked in Iowa City on Saturdays. The law was simple: Leave your heart on the field. If you broke the law, you had to answer to Officers Roth, Gallery, or Sanders in the locker room.
Now, there's an easy way to solve the troubles with the law.
