Oh I can say it because it’s fun to say and there’s not enough Cyclone or Panther fans here to stop me I 100% respect AND appreciate this behavior! lol watch out because cyclonefan will sniff this out. I’m terrified for when cyclonepower snoops around and finds I’ve been slandering her program and cajoling her coach. No one tag her!

No one tag her! Yeah, I put cyclonefan but meant cyclonepower. She would peel back several layers just to prove you wrong on multiple levels!

CJL could take the recruiting momentum Bond has been building and turn Iowa into a solid 2nd tier school, particularly if she does the impossible and starts stealing the top tier Iowa talent away from Nebraska and UNI. That in itself would be an impressive feat. If she wouldn't take Wisconsin, gift-wrapped with Lauren Freaking Carlini, would she take Iowa? I had forgotten this.

IOWA CITY — Citing “significant” and “serious” NCAA violations, University of Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta announced Monday volleyball coach Bond Shymansky has been placed on a 30-day paid administrative leave.
“It’s a difficult day,” Barta said in a news conference Monday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. “There are a lot of emotions ... anger, sadness.
“(Our motto is) Win, Graduate, Do It Right. Clearly in this case, (Shymansky) came up short in ‘Do It Right.’”
Bottom line is the AD would not make the above highlighted comments if it was something that could be fixed or forgotten. Unfortunately the next press release will be the announcement that a coach is stepping down, or being released.

Unfortunately the next press release will be the announcement that a coach is stepping down, or being released. I don’t know if this is what’s happening at Iowa, but I could see an AD politicking like this to make it appear to the NCAA that he’s so disappointed by whatever the volleyball coach did so maybe the NCAA won’t feel the need to conduct a deeper investigation into the entire athletic department and uncover the things that are allowed in the sports that donors care about.

It’s punishment enough to be forced to live in Iowa City Out of B1G college towns IC is DEFINITELY in the top half. The only bad things about Iowa City are that I would have to go through Dubuque (depressing) and look at a lot of corn to go there. It is a charming small city with a lot of culture, especially in terms of writers.

Thinking about penalties, I wonder how hard the NCAA will come down on Iowa and Shymanski. If Iowa is self-reporting the violation, and taking steps to rectify the situation ahead of the NCAA, Iowa may only receive a slap on the wrist. My cynical view of what I have seen from the NCAA is that when a school is a minor player in a sport (like Iowa in volleyball) the NCAA seems to mete out harsh penalties. You know the organization wants to show how much it cares about fairness and honesty within NCAA sports. Unfortunately, this fairness never seems to extend to the major universities in major sports, where the NCAA could take a viewership and financial hit. I am thinking of North Carolina in its men's basketball violations just awhile back. Also, as far as cheating coaches go, the NCAA seems to forgive their transgressions fairly quickly and often. In this regard, interestingly enough, I am thinking of Iowa's former assistant men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl. This low-life of a coach years ago taped a telephone conversation of a Chicago high school basketball recruit who had decided to go to Illinois rather than Iowa. During the entrapment phone conversation, the Illinois recruit appeared to go along with Pearl's sneaky suggestions that somehow Illinois was paying off the recruit. The charges were never definitively proven, however, as I remember the University of Illinois was hit with a "lack of institutional control" by the NCAA and the player had to sit out a year. Since that incident Pearl has been allowed to coach at other universities, seemingly always coming under suspicion of doing shady recruiting tactics, at every stop. Remember his Auburn team just finished as the national runner-up in the NCAA men's basketball championship. No doubt Pearl knows how to coach a winning team, the question is how he goes about it.

I go to the boondocks for a day, and this happens. WTF? Same. The one night I didn't check in on VT. Regardless the transgression, it looks like Iowa is doing and saying all of the right things. Transparency matters and the quicker they can resolve this the better it will be for their recruiting efforts. The program will be better at the end of all this. There is now an opening for a free trip to Japan on the B1G Tour!

Most of you remember what Iowa was like before Bond got there. Let us also not forget that he is from Iowa, went to school there and was an assistant there.
If we were to conjecture what is to happen if Bond leaves, I don't think it is an overwhelmingly positive picture. He has created a niche in the volleyball landscape for Iowa but it would take a lot to move it along to the next step in the upward trajectory. But that is far from a slam dunk.

I’m hearing it’s done. He’s out. They are moving on. Makes me wonder how long he’s conducted this kind of business because my guess is it isn’t his first rodeo.

Just wanted to get your attention. Listen idk what Bond might have done... but you do not knock Iowa City. One of the cool things about being an Iowan is how much effort has been put in to making our major university cities big college attractions. As a kid I hated the Cyclones and to a lesser extent the Panthers... but I would GLADLY drink their beer and enjoy their parties. There are few states that have a trio of amazing college towns within drivable distance like Iowa City, Ames, and Cedar Falls. Okay, I am all on board with Iowa City being great, and Cedar Falls is great -- but Ames?? Ames is a hellhole. (Though a shepherds' pie from Dublin Bay sounds great right now.)

Blah blah blah college towns. Let's get back to the subject at hand!
Bond has had a lot of transfers in to build his program. I wonder if he was making inappropriate contact (I don't mean literally...). Or 2) trying to get grades changed.

That in itself would be an impressive feat. That's a tough one. I think CLJ is probably a better coach than Shymansky, but probably not a better recruiter. Which is why I don't think Iowa is the answer. The praise Shymansky receives here for recruiting is …. ironic.

A real punishment would have been to be put on non-paid leave.....May is a quiet month and he still gets paid? This isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble either. I’m surprised nobody wants to talk about that. We do. We just don't know what questions to ask or how to ask it with dignity. I got a good laugh when I read "ask it with dignity" on VT. Thanks for making my day a little brighter.
