Delay in regent’s $5M gift to Iowa football raises questions

News, Sports

April 15th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa powerbroker Bruce Rastetter has long used his $5 million pledge to Hawkeye football to build his image as a successful businessman and philanthropist. But years after his 2008 commitment was touted as the largest gift to Iowa athletics, Rastetter has given less than a third of that amount. Another donor who promised $5 million that day has completed his pledge. The football complex they were supporting has been built.

Rastetter is now president of the school’s governing body. His handling of the donation contradicts public statements claiming he’s given $5 million, which he’s used to deflect criticism that his policies hurt the university. And it raises questions about whether the delay was part of the pressure he put on former university president Sally Mason, who resigned last year.

Sports

April 15th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

April 14th, 2016 by admin

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) – South Dakota State has hired T.J. Otzelberger as its new men’s basketball coach.

Assistant athletic director Jason Hove confirmed to The Associated Press that Otzelberger will replace longtime coach Scott Nagy, who took the job at Wright State after leading the Jackrabbits to the NCAA Tournament three of the past five years.

Otzelberger, a top assistant at Iowa State, was being introduced during a news conference Thursday.

Nagy led the Jackrabbits this season to a 26-8 record and a Summit League Tournament championship. South Dakota State lost to Maryland 79-74 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Jaime Garcia pitches 1-hitter as Cardinals beat Brewers 7-0

Sports

April 14th, 2016 by admin

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Jaime Garcia pitched a one-hitter, allowing only Domingo Santana’s lined single into right field with two outs in the sixth inning, as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-0 Thursday.

Garcia struck out 13, three more than his previous career high, and caught eight of them looking at third strikes. The left-hander is 4-1 with a 1.44 ERA in his last five starts against the Brewers.

Randal Grichuk and Jeremy Hazelbaker hit two-run homers. Grichuk’s drive in the third off Wily Peralta (0-3) barely eluded the glove of center field Keon Broxton. Grichuk appeared to pass teammate Brandon Moss rounding first while looking to see if Broxton made the catch, but the Brewers didn’t challenge.

Hazelbaker hit his team-high third home run of the season in the seventh, against Chris Capuano.
