The University of Iowa released a statement announcing a “separation agreement” with longtime strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle amid allegations of racial disparities, specifically in the weight room and by Doyle.

Chris Doyle, who has been the strength and conditioning coach for the entirety of the Kirk Ferentz era, released this statement:

“Iowa City has been home to our family for 21 years, I am grateful Iowa football provided an opportunity to work with incredible players, coaches, and support staff.
