It was less big news when enormous problems with that investigation came to light and the case started to fall apart. On this episode, Iowa writer and attorney Patrick Vint of Hawkeye State joins Alex to discuss how (and why) Iowa law enforcement made itself into an NCAA investigatory arm, how the NCAA handled the information brought to it, and how we can think about a hugely problematic investigative process that still revealed legitimate issues.
