There have been only four sports information director's in the history of Iowa athletics, dating back to 1924. Eric Wilson was the first and spent 44 years in the main chair. Wilson was an Iowa track star as a student and qualified for the 1924 Olympic games. Wilson at one time held the world record in the 200 and 400 meters. In between he and Steve Roe were George Wine and Phil Haddy. Three of the four are in the CoSidsa Hall of fame with Roe to be inducted in June. Roe has assisted five student athletes in gaining national awards, he's promoted 16 All Americans, created the all century basketball team in 2002 and has worked over a hundred Big Ten and NCAA championship events. Steve Roe is our guest on this week's Fight for Iowa Podcast.
