I’m sure they’ve been doing it for years. Someone finally exposed it
How much did the State of Iowa cost Noah?
Because of ONE BET that he placed:
* He couldn't play all last season
* He didn't get drafted, where if he would have played last season, he surely would have
Instead, he signs as an UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT.

This is from tonight:
the full text of the tweet:
In the federal lawsuit filed on behalf of 26 former and current student-athletes mostly from Iowa and Iowa State against the Iowa DCI for allegedly violating constitutional rights by warrantless searches, here's an email from Christopher Adkins, Iowa DCI special agent to agents Brian Sanger and Troy Nelson, obtained via FOIA:
“I was thinking about the discussion yesterday surrounding the lowa football program. I might be in the minority, but I think this is one of those things that would bring attention to our unit, not only in the public's eyes, but also as far as the commissioner and even possibly the legislatures.
“As far as the coaches, players, and managers are concerned, we don't necessarily have a crime on the books in lowa, but I think it would be a good idea to report them to the University, the Big Ten, and the NCAA. If they get suspended or get a scholarship taken away, so be it.
“I know it seems like a lot of work for something small, but on a case like this, where it will be higher profile, we can show our worth to the powers to be along with sending out a warning that we will be overseeing things and hopefully work on slowing down these sorts of things in the future.
“And if we pursue this and it hits the media, which it would, and people start asking why nothing criminal was done - we can use that platform to hopefully push legislators for code changes moving forward.”
Much more from @ejohnsonNEWS on the @WHO13news at 6 & 10 PM.
Emphasis mine.

They all should be suing for at least $2M so that after taxes & attorney fees they end up with $1M each.
Or should they be going for more?
It’s terrifying how people in positions of authority have become so far out of touch with reality. You are the criminals.
More. Especially Shannon where it probably cost him 2 or 3 million a year for not being drafted higher.
Any idea how punitive damages work? If this goes to trial, does Noah's lawyer ask for them and the jury decides if they are warranted?
Noah could and should walk away with a lot.
I have no idea but you would think that they would consider punitive damage for being signed as a UDFA instead of going say 3rd round or so.
The people will love us if we significantly overreach on our jobs and directly negatively impact people that have broken no law. Yeah, that's the ticket.
And they were trying to impress their bosses. Unbelievable.
The story from the Gazette:
Here is a really good 4 minute video from WHO TV discussing the case:

Internal emails reveal motivation, scope of DCI sports gambling investigation
DES MOINES, Iowa — Newly obtained emails between investigators within the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations are shedding more light into why and how agents gathered evidence against …

Probably a big payday coming for the plaintiffs and deservedly so.
What sucks is that the taxpayer is always the one that is on the hook for the misdeeds of any public servant goon. If they were also financially responsible they might think twice about going rogue.
