Hawkeye Sports Properties, the multimedia rights manager for University of Iowa Athletics, today announced it will reinstate play-by-play announcer Gary Dolphin beginning with coverage of football spring practice. Dolphin will also return for the 2019-2020 football and menâs basketball seasons.
The reinstatement decision, like the suspension, was made by Learfieldâs Hawkeye Sports Properties, following collaborative engagement with the Iowa Athletics Department. Dolphin has served as âVoice of the Hawkeyesâ since 1996.
Dolphin was suspended on Friday through the remainder of the menâs basketball season for an inappropriate comment during the Feb. 19 broadcast of the Iowa menâs basketball game against Maryland.
Dolphin and Iowa Director of Athletics Gary Barta will participate in a 3 pm CT press conference at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
