$20 million? Are they serious? For what, exactly.

The 'woke' extortion continues.

I've read some of the allegations and just rolled my eyes, talk about grasping at straws.

Several former Black Iowa football players sent a letter to the university earlier this month demanding $20 million and that longtime Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, assistant coach Brian Ferentz and athletic director Gary Barta be fired over allegations of racial discrimination during their time with the program, according to The Des Moines Register’s Chad Leistikow.

The eight former players, per the report, sent the 21-page letter to the school on Oct. 5. They are being represented by a civil rights attorney in Tulsa, and have threatened a lawsuit against the school if their demands aren’t met by Monday.

Among the demands for the three firings and $20 million in compensation, the players demanded the creation of a permanent Black male senior administrator within the athletic department, mandatory anti-racist training for staff members, a board of advisers with Black players and anti-racist professionals to oversee the program and tuition waivers for any Black athlete who didn’t graduate, according to The Des Moines Register.

No civil rights attorneys in Iowa? Or just none dumb enough to take the case? I'm not going to read the linky, but how many of those 8 went to school on a full-ride scholarship?
