Iowa Football: Former Players Issue Letter Demanding $20M, Ferentz Fired

Late Sunday night Iowa football fans, who were preparing for their first game week of the 2020 season, were dealt another in a long list of shocking headlines. Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register broke the news Sunday evening that eight former Hawkeye football players had hired legal counsel to submit a letter to the University of Iowa.

The letter, which was not published in its entirety, is 21-pages long, dated October 5th and reportedly includes a list of demands from the University. The demands include the firings of both head coach Kirk Ferentz and offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, as well as $20 million.
