I'm not going to mention names, but some of our wrestlers have more $$$ to gamble than others.Doc was saying on the radio today that Iowa Wrestling was the program for Iowa that is going to be hit the hardest. I thought it was Clown wrestling that was going to be hit hard?
Ugh, not liking how this sounds.I'm not going to mention names, but some of our wrestlers have more $$$ to gamble than others.
The Iowa vs ISU dual in December is gonna be, let's just say, interesting.
At least if ISU wins, we can put an asterisk by the final score.
My fear is the "powers that be" are gonna try and make an example out of these guys to deter future problems and send a message.Ugh, not liking how this sounds.
Depends if there’s a mirror close by or not.Wonder what Angelo might be thinking. Maybe he doesn’t pay attention.
That’s true.Depends if there’s a mirror close by or not.
I wouldn’t “bet” on it…….What a stupid, stupid way to hurt yourself and the program. Hopefully its all "room guys."
I'm guessing if you looked the way he does in a mirror you'd spend a bit of time looking at yourself too. Maybe?Depends if there’s a mirror close by or not.
If that’s true, this whole thing is lame. I get betting on events where you could potentially have insider info or influence the outcome, but the UFC? I don’t get why anyone would care.they weren’t betting on wrestling. i heard it was ufc
Meh… I guess that’s between you and Angelo.I'm guessing if you looked the way he does in a mirror you'd spend a bit of time looking at yourself too. Maybe?
Can't take a joke? Lighten up Francis.Meh… I guess that’s between you and Angelo.
IIRC, NCAA athletes are only barred from betting on sports that NCAA holds competitions in.. UFC does not seem to be the same as collegiate wrestling or anything NCAA sponsors, so I would not expect that be an issue.they weren’t betting on wrestling. i heard it was ufc

If a wrestler was betting on their own sport, let alone team, I'd expect them to be done permanently. If they were betting on Iowa events (like women's championship game) I'd expect a full season.
In case anyone is unfamiliar, last year a Virginia football player was initially handed a 3/4 season suspension for placing bets on the NBA finals. He made over 100 bets, between $1-$5, for a total of 400, and won $41. He self reported, and after appeal he missed half a season.
The whole thing seems pretty antiquated now.. obviously betting on your own game - which you could obviously impact - can't be allowed. I understand your own sport, or even own university - which you may have insider knowledge of, but so could lots of other students that aren't athletes; or even all collegiate events.
But with modern app based gambling, you can't go into debt to a bookie, and all your bets are tracked and analyzed for anomalies (which is how the Alabama baseball coach got caught.. and maybe rippled into the Iowa stuff?)
All that said, the players should have known it was against the rules, so its on them, unfortunately
I thought legal betting was ok with the NCAA on sports for which there is no NCAA sponsored championship. In other words, legal (of age) betting on the UFC would be ok from a NCAA standpointthey weren’t betting on wrestling. i heard it was ufc
My reading of NCAA rules/regulations.
NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes and (department employees) from betting on any sport (amatuer or professional) for which the NCAA sponsors a championship. In addition...
The NCAA prohibits (betting) as follows. On-line; Super Bowl Squares; pools; live in-game; fantasy leagues; calcuttas; sports-betting apps (on-line); March Madness Brackets; et al.
It certainy appears that NCAA rules prohibit just about every gaming activity that I can imagine. Athletes' participation in all forms of gaming activity is discouraged by the NCAA.
hmmmmm, that's seems an even bet!Putting a few bets down on some weekend duals has been great, but losing Cody Goodwin will hurt. I would hold out on an Iowa wager until he posted the probables. ...
Paraphrasing NCAA Rules and Regulations, "no sports wager of any kind; lose your eligibility."it is amazing to me that the ncaa can consistently write rules that are confusing as hell. so it would seem ufc is banned if done through the app?
I wouldn’t “bet” on it…….
My understanding too. Are they arguing that UFC is wrestling? So you can't bet on curling because ice hockey?I thought legal betting was ok with the NCAA on sports for which there is no NCAA sponsored championship. In other words, legal (of age) betting on the UFC would be ok from a NCAA standpoint
Where did he go?Putting a few bets down on some weekend duals has been great, but losing Cody Goodwin will hurt. I would hold out on an Iowa wager until he posted the probables. It was a beautiful set-up. Also, wrestling lost a great journalist period with Goodwin leaving.
Pill scandal was a whole different level of fiasco.Wasn’t Joe Slaton charged initially with the big Napster scam back in the day? That blew over quickly. If there are charges involved in this I don’t think it goes away very quickly. And after the pill scandal in MN they made an example of JRob. It’s been a crappy last 45 days. Praying for clear and sunny forecasts.
Damn that's a bummer, but good for him. Loved his coverage. Hope the Register keeps it up with someone else.
Bummer for the sport and Iowa, but damn, great opportunity.
He was great for the sport/state, even if he was a Mizzou guy..

Agree — Cody was a good one. I always liked and appreciated his coverage, even from my outsider’s seat. Seemed like an objective guy who stuck to the facts.Bummer for the sport and Iowa, but damn, great opportunity.
No, this is very much still going to be a thing.Guessing this will be thrown out since no names have been mentioned
Do we know what case this is tied to? I’ve read that no athlete gambled on their sport or team, at the same time I’ve read that this all steems from an investigation from an illegal activity. Meaning criminal, not just an ncaa violation.No, this is very much still going to be a thing.
The problem, apparently, is that the Iowa DCI is sitting on this case as they are still completing their investigation before they "officially" turn everything they have both into the State for any legal prosecution, the Universities so that they can take any further action, and then the f***ing NCAA..........
This thing won't be resolved before football season starts. Watch.
