If healthy I fully expect Ayala to AA
26 UI student-athletes are being investigated for online gambling, incl in Wrestling, Men’s Basketball, Football, Baseball, Men’s track & field
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Looks like women were possibly left alone.
A possible legal defense follows.
In case the tweet info gets cut off:
"The defense believes that the State used Geofence, or similar data collection methods, as well as phone pinging data to capture data on the Iowa and Iowa State campuses after which students and other athletes were eliminated as targets unless they belonged to specific male athletic teams, which if true, would be a violation of the Defendant's constitutional rights as the State is not allowed to use discretion when choosing who to apply the law to."
seems like maybe a valid defense against the criminal case
not sure the NCAA will care about equal protection
Probably not. But pulling over a car full of African Americans just because they’re black would.
We can only hope and pray.
Kueter has not even been a heavyweight let alone a college heavyweight and his time leading up to taking the mat will be spent on football so AA out of the gate is a bit of a tall order.
If you are trying to create an analogy I think a better one would be is if the State Patrol only looked at African American drivers when pulling drivers over and allowed other races off the hook. If a State Patrolman accidentally pulled over a white driver, for example, they would simply issue a warning and send them on their way.
Do you think that would fly if the word got out? Or do you think Ben Crump would show up and sue the state for hundreds of millions of dollars?
As noted above, students and other athletes were eliminated as targets unless they belonged to specific male athletic teams, which if true, would be a violation of the Defendant's constitutional rights as the State is not allowed to use discretion when choosing who to apply the law to."
The NCAA lost the NIL case before the US Supreme Court 9-0 so I wouldn't be surprised if a lawyer threatened to sue to put pressure on the NCAA to back off based on what the State of Iowa allegedly did in its investigation.
The likely justifications may be prosecutotial discretion. The basis for that discretion could be the volume of dollars waged on the college sports with an eye toward the potential for its wagering to be undermined. Prosecutors could claim fiscal responsibility by focusing its investigation of the set of college sports whose active wagering totalled up to some percentage of all college wagering.
If this basis can be shown as leading to the male sports that were investigated then I think the basis for discrimination will fall flat.
That said, wrestling being 4th to men's football, basketball and baseball might be a bit surprising to some.
They are not applying the law any differently by patrolling at a higher rate. They are keeping the neighborhood safer....
If Cass is out, the only way playing football has a bearing on it is how much weight he puts on, from the standpoint of getting in wrestling shape. One might expect his football season to be over with by Jan. 1, whether he takes a RS or not in football.
In this case, He has three weeks of focus on wrestling without classes.
It’s a tall order, however, placing in the 5-8 range is doable.
He also "knew" that wrestlers would be leaving in swarms because of the ferrari family coming in and the Keuter's were rethinking their commitment to wrestling... as keuter was drilling with AJ 🙄
Also… I’m not saying anyone is addicted. But I’m acknowledging the addictive nature of gambling and giving rationale as to why it might be occurring, and methods of curbing that behavior in this, as I see it, “at risk,” cohort.
Tom had to throw an extra 100 large at each wrestler that was leaving.
He won’t, he has a “I know something you don’t know fetish.”
It's going to be a tough pill to swallow if Cass or Woods lose a season. Looking forward to them having one last shot at champion.
I won't give names, but 4 of last year's starters will lose a full year, another just 10%. One backup will lose 30% of the season. Woods is in the clear.
Yeah, that's it. It's just a fetish. Can't be another reason.
So Kennedy, Brands, Assad, Cass, Teske or Cobe. Woods in the clear is damn good news.
Returning starters not named Woods. Teske, Cobe, Kennedy, Brands, Assad, and Cass. No one has thrown Teske’s name out there. That’s Leaves COBE, Kennedy, Brands, Assad, and Cass. 4 of 5 out for a year. I hope the 10% season loss is Cass or Brands.
Does it seem like they are targeting students at Iowa and Iowa State? Im sure this goes on everywhere.
@vhsalum has been telling everybody this for a along time.
You must be new to the board.
Could it be that religious zealots in power have chosen to redirect priorities at sinful gambling?
Is Gambling a Sin? What Does the Bible Say?
When Bill Bennett, author of books such as The Book of Virtues decided to quit casino gambling, religious leaders were quick to applaud the news. When Bennett added that he never thought of gambling as immoral, people began to search another book...

I believe pk will miss a few but not the whole season. Back for Iowa state is the hope.
Most will appeal and could get lightened punishments so I think it’s still premature to mention exact timelines.
In all honesty we might not know exactly what’s going on for a little bit yet. Everyone and I do mean everyone is still in speculation mode.

Same names I am hearing. Arnold could step in for Nelson and he all ready said he wants a shot a Starcrap. Kueter could fill in at hwt but very doubtful. PK can be replaced by Calendo as for Seibrecht can middle Ferrari make it down to 149… doubtful but something to think about. Bottom line if neither Ferrari can get eligible then redshirt everybody and have a year like Perry’s sophomore year where he beat Hendricks with Woods winning a Natty and a couple other AA’s.
