(Des Moines) A state senator calls on the Iowa Board of Regents to fire the University of Iowa Athletic Director Gary Barta. Senator Annette Sweeney called Barta incompetent. The lawsuit was filed by 12 Black Hawkeye football players in 2020 and is the fourth racial discrimination case to be filed against the University of Iowa under Barta’s tenure. It’s cost the university and the state more than eleven-million dollars.
