Tried to told y’all.
Now just pray the NCAA plays nice. (Doubtful)
Plus - the appeal/defense of the attorney is likely to piss them off.

A healthy one definitely is
I know it is not official but if Cass does lose that last year, quite the bummer. I really wanted to see one last run for the championship. Is this Assads last year as well?
Thats too bad. I could see a healthy Assad pull off a Mad Max type of run at Nattys.
Really? In my wildest dreams I wouldn’t pick that to ever happen
Who the hell on the Iowa staff (or close to it) is leaking information to this guy?
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
APPEAL this BS - maybe go NAIA if you loose? NCAA is a $HIT$HOW!!!
Would they be NAIA eligible? With the covid extra year in the NCAA I don’t know how that works.
Nobody is. Wrestling community is pretty small. Mineo isn’t really breaking news here that wasn’t pretty much known
If a guy like me knew, well it wasn’t a very well kept secret
Update on this big freakin' mess:

Damn that sucks for the young men, if true. Gotta go back old school and use a bookie.
I'm curious how any of the guys got busted for it. Pretty sure they're all 21.
weren't you one of the dumb@ss saying 11 guys, and how could the penalties be worse if they are senior and suspended for whole season. hate people who bring out i told you so and you were wrong
The remaining 10 could all be Track & Field,

On May 8 the UI said it was 26 current student athletes.
So, in the last 3 months, did 15 leave the UI?
Reminder of the possible punishments:
According to NCAA guidelines, which are in effect for violations reported on or after May 2, 2023:
* Hawkeye players' college eligibility would be in jeopardy if they bet on Iowa games (in any sport).
* Football players could lose half a season if they bet on any college football contests.
* For other wagering activity:
--- they would face a loss of 30% of the season if they wagered more than $800
---20% of the season if they wagered between $501 and $800
--10% of the season for $201 to $500
---and gambling education (no games missed) for $200 or less.

Kirk Ferentz: 'Not a large number' of Iowa football players in sports gambling investigation
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said that there are “not a large number” Iowa football players involved in the NCAA’s investigation into sports gambling.

So if they are a senior wouldnt they be eligible to come back next year?? I dont honestly get the losing of egilbility.
Pack on that muscle Kueter! Your time is now son. Red/Gray shirts seem less important now with the NIL and transfer portal.
To be fair until we know how much they bet, on what sports, what teams, when, and how often; it's hard to guage the severity of their actions and render any judgement.
I remain averse to the concept of lifetime bans except for the most extreme cases resulting in collusion, point shaving, or betting on athlete's own games. I don't believe that is the case here.
That aside, coming from a PSU fans perspective, this really sucks for the program, the sport, the kids, the fans, and our unique rivalry.
You have my sincere condolences.
This is one of those things that could have happened almost anywhere. We all have done questionable things, outright dumb things, with our friends at that age.
We can all hope as fans of the sport and our mutual history, that the Hawks bounce back strong, quickly. The Portal and NIL have changed the game. Here is to your regaining a full strength roster, ready to do battle in 2024, as if this never happened.

Oh, you better have your ducks in a row before you say that.
It does happen everywhere. This was a concentrated effort to target Iowa and Iowa State. Not sure how or why Drake, UNI, or all the D2 and D3 schools in Iowa went unscathed. My guess is someone was looking to make a name for themselves. In the end, the state is probably looking at several lawsuits for the way they went about accessing their information and targeting.
It sure makes me wonder why Barta left?
However, I have my suspicions and there only that.
With a top ten finish in real jeopardy at Nattys, you don't burn a redshirt for Kueter. And I wouldn't burn it with Arnold either.
No way in hell.
The additions of VV, Franek, and Caliendo were an early indication of how impacted the wrestling team was.
Gonna get ugly next winter.
Looks like Dresser finally beats Iowa in a dual...with an asterisk, of course.
Then again...imagine the embarrassment if he loses to an Iowa team missing four starters?
Ditto for Eggum.

I normally would agree. I just don't believe in punt years nowadays with NIL and the Portal. Although this maybe the year to do it
