Credentialgate. Iowa Athletics continues to find new and interesting ways to shoot itself in the foot. On Tuesday, it was press credentials, which the department withheld from Pat Harty and Rob Howe of AllHawkeyes.com:
Two reporters for the independent University of Iowa athletics site AllHawkeyes.com found out Tuesday that the school's athletics department denied them media credentials for the Hawkeyes' 2015 football season. According to site co-founder Rob Howe, Iowa told them that their request was denied because AllHawkeyes is privately owned and not affiliated with a network, such as Rivals.
