With so many players gone, Iowa fell so fast and so hard that in 1931 the team scored just seven points all season long, and Coach Burt Ingwersen soon resigned, his overall record at Iowa standing at 33–27–4 (.547) despite all the difficulties caused by the athletic scandals. Lauer hired Ossie Solem of Drake University to replace Ingwersen. Iowa finished with one win overall and none in the Big Ten in both 1931 and 1932. After a fine year in 1933, Solem took over for Lauer as athletic director. The next five years were miserable for Iowa fans, as Iowa compiled a record of 11–24–5 from 1934 to 1938 under Solem and Irl Tubbs.
