Gary Barta Nearing Settlement Goal of $10 Million Dollars

Goals are important.

Kirk Ferentz’s teams strive for the lofty goal of finishing each football season with 8 wins.

Fran McCaffery’s teams enter each season with “miss the Sweet 16 again” written atop the team marker board, underlined and in bold.

The Iowa Athletic Department, however, has quite possibly the most pioneering goal of them all: Gary Barta’s quest to hand out $10,000,000 in settlements to former athletes and athletic department employees.

And after reaching a $1.1 million-dollar separation agreement with former football strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle, Barta is seemingly within arm’s reach of his settlement target.
