This would be if Alabama said no thanks to Clemson and then signed up to play wake forest in the military bowl. It takes away from the integrity of what should occur. It'd be nice if they just came out and say that the Iowa coach is a pussy who holds a grudge. Iowa shouldn't be dodging anyone - it's embarrassing for their kids and program.

I also wonder what the true story is of how coach brands left - would be surprising to know if he was the true victim here. Anyone know the real story regarding his departure?
