Iowa State Gambling

Post by TheCatInTheHat »

With all the DraftKings and FanDuels and odds with 800 numbers during commercial time-outs to bet on who will score next (saw that in a hockey game yesterday), I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg, so no room to gloat.

From another source - the Iowa State student newspaper:

“Five former or current Iowa State football coaching staff members were disciplined by the NCAA for violating its sports gambling rules. The five staff members were found to have placed over 6,200 bets on professional and college games, including Iowa State men’s and women’s basketball games. The group collected over $100,000 in winnings throughout their endeavors.”

“While the group faces no criminal charges, the NCAA still placed a one-year show-cause order on each violator that runs through April 24, 2026. The NCAA also classified these findings as Level II violations, which could compromise the integrity of the NCAA collegiate model.”

“These findings were already part of a statewide investigation into sports gambling in college athletic facilities, which found multiple student athletes at both Iowa and Iowa State to be guilty of underage betting during this time period.”

Whew, I bet they're relieved they didn't get a strongly worded letter from Chuck Schumer.
