Since Chick Ejiasi has taken over as the director of player development for the Iowa football team, only one player has been arrested. Here's some of what the Hawkeye team and fans have had to put up with in the past year and a half.
In April of 2007, former defensive tackle Ryan Bain started things off by getting charged for disorderly conduct, consumption/intoxication, and interference with official acts.
Then things really heated up in May. Former wide receivers, freshmen Anthony Bowman and Dominique Douglas were charged with unlawful use of a credit card after stealing someone's card and charging a couple of G's on it.
Then tight end Tyler Gerstadt and quarterback Ricky Stanzi were cited with PAULAs.
To finish off May, former running back Dana Brown was charged with 5th degree theft, and he wasn't done yet.
In July, Brown was again charged for 5th degree theft.
Also, cornerback Bradley Fletcher received an OWI. Receiver Ben Evans got an OWI, as well.
Former quarterback Arvell Nelson was cited for driving with a suspended license. Nelson didn't show up for his court date and an arrest warrant was issued for him.
Then in September 2007, police charged Clint Huntrods, now former long snapper, with consumption/intoxication, interference with official acts, and public urination.
Safety Lance Tillison was charged with an OWI.
In October, new charges came up for Douglas as he was charged with 5th degree theft, after stealing some DVDs from Wal-Mart.
Brown was arrested for domestic-abuse assault causing bodily injury after allegedly beating up his girlfriend.
In December, tight end Brandon Myers was charged with interference with official acts and public intoxication.
In February 2008, punter Ryan Donahue received a PAULA.
Former wide out James Cleveland and Nelson received drug charges in February. They were roommates and had their drugs sitting out in plain sight. Nelson had Marijuana and Cleveland had perscription drugs without a perscription.
In April, defensive tackle Cody Hundertmark was cited with a PAULA.
In May 2008, the worst of all the charges were cited for former defensive backs Abe Satterfield and Cedric Everson. Satterfield and Everson were charged with second-degree sexual abuse and second- and third-degree sexual abuse, respectively after an incident in Hillcrest Dorm that occurred in October of 2007.
Much has been made of this case in the press as there was a possible attempted cover-up by personnel at the University of Iowa.
My favorite story happened in July when soon to be freshman, Riley Reiff, was charged with public intoxication and interference with official acts after stripping naked and leading the police on a 20 minute foot chase.
Then in September, right before Ejiasi was hired, freshman and former linebacker Dezman Moses was charged with public intoxication.
In November former Safety Harold Dalton was charged with public intoxication, interference with official acts, and disorderly conduct after getting into a bar fight.
There has only been the one incident since the hiring of Ejiasi, and it was by a senior. Ejiasi will mainly work with 1st and 2nd year players.
