There was a major shake up in the Iowa volleyball program this summer. Coach Bond Shymansky was fired on June 19th after initially being put on administrative leave May 20th. While their were rumors of benefits being provided to a player that came to Iowa with Shymansky from Marquette, after the firing, Shymansky released a statement basically saying that a scholarship was promised to a player that she didn’t get so he helped her pay rent.
While we ultimately only got to hear Shymansky’s side of the story, there certainly are questions that arose such as, “who promised the player a scholarship and then why wasn’t it honored”?
