Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz Denies Disbanding Football Diversity Committee in Letter

Iowa Hawkeyes head football coach Kirk Ferentz pushed back Monday at the notion he disbanded an advisory committee that was created in response to allegations of a culture of racism and bullying within the football program.

Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register shared a letter the coach sent to Hawkeyes players sharing his side of the story in which he said it is "not accurate" to say he disbanded the group:
