Iowa football strength and condition coach Chris Doyle has been placed on administrative leave after dozens of social-media posts from black former athletes described a culture of systemic racism within the Hawkeyes' football program.
"There has been a call for a cultural shift in our program. Therefore, I am creating an advisory committee, chaired by a former player and compromised of current and former players as well as department staff. This will be a diverse group that will be able to share without judgement so we can all examine where we are today and how we can have a better environment tomorrow.
