Heard Hartzell on the radio this morning doing an interview for the local show. He stated flatly that the reason he has declined the tourney this year has nothing to do with the "conflict of interest" stuff. It is simply because he was scheduled on the same day as UNI was supposed to play, and he feels it's his duty as AD to go support his team.
So, the upshot is that he turned down the games because his job as AD takes precedence; not because of Gottlieb, Shemon, Washington, or anyone else's ignorant rantings.
