to be honest, I'm totally indifferent to the situation. Don't know the guy, and I'm not really an Iowa fan. In fact, in the big picture, Iowa going back down to their pre-Bond level of competitiveness would probably help the program that I am a fan of in terms of competition for recruits. But I don't know if it really makes THAT much of a difference and I'm not THAT bitter (yet). I'm just saying that while everyone here has pretty much assumed that he is gone, I don't believe there has been anything announced aside from the suspension. True, nothing has been announced. But it’s done.

I’m indifferent to 95% of VT content except for: Hawaii volleyball - women, men, beach Campus architecture SCIAC (pronounced Sky-Akk) Humor My Notepad thread Butchering modern slang Do any campuses have Richardson Romanesque architecture? A whole bunch, including your school Wisconsin. The Wikipedia page has a list. LOL en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardsonian_Romanesque

From that Wikipedia page:
Richardsonian Romanesque is a style of Romanesque Revival architecture named after architect Henry Hobson Richardson (1838–1886), whose masterpiece is Trinity Church, Boston (1872–1877), designated a National Historic Landmark. Richardson first used elements of the style in his Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane in Buffalo, New York, designed in 1870.

You should try to be more sensitive to the many VT posters who probably spent some time in asylums.

I've seen this architrecture all over the place, including my very own San Jose Museum of Art I can't find any info on the architrecture style of this facade but it seems to incorporate Richardson Romanesque elements -- rounded arches around doors/windows, recessed entrances, short squat columns, use of stone blocks, blank stretches of unadorned walls, cylindrical towers with conical caps, etc.

Do any campuses have Richardson Romanesque architecture? Science Hall is a stretch for that. It does incorporate elements of Richardson Romanesque. Anyway, architecture is very fusion -- architects mix and match styles from all civilizations and eras. That Science Hall also uses crow-stepped gables which is not a distinct feature of Richardson Romanesque but just Romanesque Revival or Dutch Colonial Revival.

Or at the end of the 30 day suspension, Bond resumes coaching duties and nothing further is heard about the matter again (officially). I could see it going either way. (I'm saying this with zero knowledge of what is going on behind the scenes, more of just an observation of how the NCAA seems to work sometimes) Love the optimism, but unless I've missed something, this is just a formality. It was reported that Bond's contract requires 30 days notice, or they owe him $200,000 per season remaining ($600,000). If he's still employed on June 30, they own him a $15,000 bonus for not leaving. Iowa doesn't want to pay either of these, so he'll be let go after the 30 days are up (around the 19-20th of this month) and before June 30. You mentioned about how NCAA investigations go... this is NOT an NCAA investigation. This is Iowa self-reporting an NCAA violation. In other words, Iowa is pleading guilty - the NCAA will check their work, make sure they didn't miss anything and hopefully Iowa's self-imposed penalties are going to be enough, or the NCAA will add onto the sentence. What the NCAA won't do is find a school innocent after they have already pleaded guilty. Well ... right, the NCAA will "check their work". And if they feel that Iowa was way off on what happened, or on the proposed penalty, they will correct that.

Honestly if you live on a farm who’s going to stop you.

Given the comments and tone from the A.D. in the press release, I'm thinking that Bond is gone.

Well, at least now we know for sure his 30-day leave started on May 20......so I guess there will be some definitive news one way or the other by the end of next week?
