I seems clear that Hawkeye Nation's concern for this young man is directly proportional to the value he can provide Iowa on the mat.

If he wasnt the stud he is in the first place, he would have been long gone after the first couple of transgressions. And yes, the same can be true of other programs with other wrestlers who have gotten themselves in trouble.Quote:

And I do get a kick out of anybody, even a guy I like in Jensen, implying something against a fanbase for caring less about a guy after he's off the team. That's going to be the feeling of the majority of people throughout all of team sports fandom. I doubt Gopher fans would be rallying to the cause of, say, Mike Thorn if he was arrested for something.
You are probably right and therein lies the problem.Quote:
