I mean it’s insane. An agent goes rogue in order to go after student athletes
So we're gonna egg this guy's house, right?
I see one guy said, "I see at one point Sanger was a Wrestling Recruiting Coordinator at University of Dubuque."
The guy is linked to wrestling. Drake, UNI and all D3 were not investigated.

If it ever comes out, it would be fascinating to learn his background and the reasons why he chose to target the athletes. Playing an amatuer psychologist here I am going to venture a guess he may have been a frustrated athlete himself and never quite good enough. Maybe he got pushed around a bit in high school? Or maybe he is just an ultra do gooder who sees the law as black and white. Not sure I buy the fact he was simply concerned about the fixing of games, however.
If this has legs...somebody getting sued.
Bigly.
Bigly.
So translation this guy not only screwed up a bunch of young men's lives and screwed up sports seasons that we enjoy but now we as taxpayers are likely going to have to foot the bill for the millions that this is going to cost in lawsuits because all of these people had there privacy illegally invaded. This guy defiantly should take the title for the most hated state employee named Brian now!
I told you all it was an inside hack job!!! Now someone needs to get to the bottom and quickly!!!
Yes, they do have the legal authority to monitor the providers of gambling and the industry in general - such as the casinos, casino employees, etc. But they can't just randomly choose to investigate private citizens without reasonable suspicion/probable cause.
Van will burn the DCI down. He is a former wrestler and an Iowa wrestling fan. The shit is going to hit the fan, watch....
It’s not too late for the NCAA to do the right thing. Will they? No
This is some BS. Carl has to be involved somehow!
Unfortunately how the info came available is of no consequence to them.
Said this from the beginning, the state is getting sued out the ass for this. Idk what price tag gets put on loss of eligibility. Then add in NIL $ lost on top of that. Even better, us taxpayers will be the lucky ones footing the bill!
“During Special Agent Sanger’s deposition on January 19, 2024, he stated that he cannot remember why he decided to conduct the warrantless searches but that he was concerned about things such as people infiltrating Iowa’s sports team to gain insider information or match fixing."
Me thinks this will be no longer DCI Special Agent Brian in the near future:

It just keeps getting weirder. What a mess.
Who paid him off to sabotage Iowa wrestling?

It’s so funny you can’t have a thread over here without mentioning something “psu”
Sounds like a prick with a vendetta against Iowa and ISU who abused his position for reasons he can't remember. He will lose his job, but will cost tax payers millions in legal fees and civil suits. The players lost a year of eligibility. What will his punishment be?
A one year prisoner exchange with someone in a Russian penitentiary.
He is a DCI agent with layers of authority above him. There is no goddamn way he conducts this type of investigation without the consent and sign-off from DCI upper level officials.
More importantly, charges are filed by the Attorney General. Was the AG satisfied that evidence was gained legally? The buck stops at the AG's office. The DCI makes recommendations only.
No, he's actually from a small town in central PA. You probably haven't heard of that town.
The state paid this guy to do this? Seems like a complete waste of time and money to even entertain the idea of having multiple agents investigate that.

Knew it!
he will most likely not be disciplined. FBI hss been doing this for years.searches with no probable cause no warrants. they learn they do not have to follow laws.
The comic relief has been provided by Mr Ferrari…….but carry on
Reasons he can’t explain? Hmmm. “Well gee sir, I was in the shitter one day where some of my best ideas come to me and I suddenly got worried about college students and gambling…”
Here’s the thing about this process. They got account numbers from non targeted, non athletes because they “geofenced” a dorm that is known
to have freshman athletes. I wonder if due process or privacy laws don’t apply to students living in government housing? A lawyer is going to have to plain speak this to us. Of course, this is all based on what the defense lawyer has put out.
But yea, potential law suits can be huge. A buddy me reminded how the state auditor got after Barta on the law suits. Wonder what he’s thinking now?
