Gary Barta Upset at Des Moines Register for Only Covering Iowa Athletic Department Lawsuits

The Des Moines Register is now apparently under fire from all directions.

The controversy started with a Tweet from Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard Monday morning, and it ended with a scathing comment from the other direction.

Online u2066@DMRegisteru2069 sports this AM. No mention of u2066@CycloneSBu2069 (or UNI) or ISU track - instead Iowa track, baseball & softball plus ISU dropping baseball 20 years ago. Confirms why I cancelled the Register. Insulting to ISU and UNI softball players. pic.twitter.com/DlnEQEZlQ8

The Des Moines Register chose to publish stories on Iowa Track and Field and Softball only, ignoring a historic weekend by the same two Cyclone programs.
