The wrestling head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Tom Brands, appeared in a fiery mood when taking a stand for his proteges. Rather, the legendary coach took the fight on to the authorities. According to him, the authorities conducted objectionable measures in the investigation, which darkened the program related to the ongoing NCAA betting scam.

So, showcasing that trust, Brands took a stand for them. That is his nature- putting the best ones into the Iowa Hawkeyes and standing for them. In that respect, Tom Brands looks forward to welcoming another young talent on his roster.
