University of Iowa President Sally Mason said Wednesday she's satisfied with steps taken by athletic officials to deal with a rash of discipline and legal problems by athletes.
Mason, hired as president last year, said she's watching the situation closely but thinks athletic director Gary Barta and football coach Kirk Ferentz have handled recent problems well.
``If I as president have to intervene in this, then I need a new athletic director,'' Mason said. ``I feel very strongly that I have a very good person as athletic director, and I have a very good coach.''
