Iowa Board of Regents names indoor facility

IOWA CITY (AP) ? The Iowa football team?s new indoor practice building and operations center will be named after some of the program?s biggest donors.

The Iowa Board of Regents agreed Wednesday to name the indoor practice facility to honor Stew and LeNore Hansen, who donated $8 million to the program?s fundraising campaign.

Stew Hansen is the former president of a namesake Des Moines car dealership that was sold in 2006.

The regents also named the football operations building, which is under construction, after Richard O. Jacobson, chairman emeritus of the Jacobson Companies. Jacobson has supported the Hawkeyes for decades and donated millions to a number of university programs.

The building will include space for team activities, a strength and conditioning area, locker rooms, and office space for coaches and support staffs.

Cyclone kicked off football team

AMES (AP) ? Iowa State defensive tackle Rodney Coe has been kicked off the team.

Cyclones spokesman Mike Green says Coe has been dismissed for violating team rules.

Coe started Iowa State?s final four games in 2013 and finished with 37 tackles. Coe would have been a senior in 2014, and he was expected to be a veteran leader for Iowa State?s inexperienced defense.

The Cyclones return a pair of starting linemen in Cory Morrissey and David Irving, and sophomores Pierre Aka and Devlyn Cousin are the likely candidates to replace Coe at tackle.
