He also said in the statement that Marble did not reach the requirements, put forth by the University, to have his number retired. The AD mentioned 2 other players besides Marble that fans wanted to have numbers retired. And none of the 3 hit the requirements.

Thanks for the info. Didn't realize he was a National Player of the Year last year. I remember hearing his name a lot last season, but didn't see Iowa play much throughout the year.
