An audit of the University of Iowa athletics department warns that administrators failed to adequately monitor information technology purchases, allowing wasteful spending and creating major risks for the theft of equipment. The audit comes at a difficult time for Athletic Director Gary Barta, who faces a firestorm of criticism following last week's jury award of $1.4 million in damages for discrimination, unequal pay and retaliation to his former top aide, Jane Meyer. At trial, the university argued that Taylor was paid $70,000 more than Meyer because his job included overseeing IT. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)
