Kirk Ferentz issues statement on son's citation

We Twitter'd earlier today that Redshirting freshman James Ferentz, son of Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, was cited for Possession of Alcohol Under the Legal Age at 1:26 AM this morning in University Heights. 1630 AM KCJJ in Coralville confirmed the story earlier this afternoon. Here is Coach Kirk Ferentz's full statement regarding his son James' PAULA citation: “I was extremely disappointed to learn of James’ very poor decision making on several levels. This offense will be treated seriously and his punishment will include immediate and total suspension from all team activities. In addition, he will be required to attend counseling sessions and fulfill substantial community service obligations over the next six weekends. I realize this is a severe penalty but it’s just given our current circumstances. The fact that James is also my son only complicates an already tough situation.”
