I agree. If there’s no one else, then it has to do with the state. If it’s federal we should be hearing about a lot of schools.
Supposedly a new database that flags bets made by student-athletes is one rumor I heard.
This is gonna be a nation-wide thing.
yeah, it's not like these student-athletes are going to be able to claim ignorance
Money+sports gambling = corruption.
Brenna middle finger is giving the U of I the bird.🖕
Can I find a way to blame this on Barta?
Question, but doesn't each state have their own gambling commision? Could it just be that the state of Iowa's decided to do some digging and found out and alerted other parties?
Talk about sabotaging your own state, if this true.
These kids seem pretty stupid for being in "college."
Clearly every single division one program would have at least a few kids who gamble online. You could literally do this investigation and find someone who has bet online at every school in the country.
Thank goodness Biden’s DOJ is keeping Us all safe from this dangerous crime wave.

DUI's get a couple games? Should be less severe punishment for gambling on not your own sporting events.
Been widespread for 25 years. All you needed was a credit card, aol dial up and a Mayan sports account
This still is and always has been completely false.

That NIL money is going to open the flood gates for this stuff. Supplemental income.
Perception would lead folks to believe otherwise. It's not just football either.
Interestingly enough, if this link is accurate. Most of SEC country it is still illegal.

Have a bud who has a bud, so make of it what you will, that 10/26 are wrestlers.
Hypothetical question can you shave points if you don't have any points to shave?

Ok, I’m not going to lie this made me chuckle more than it probably should have.
Add it to his Wikipedia “controversies” sectionBarta and company will be busy for the foreseeable future.
Without question....
Hopefully that is Bruce who's name was already linked to this the other day...
Perception is very often completely wrong.
It must require so much discipline to become a Division I athlete, yet so many succumb to something that should be easy to avoid. Such a paradox.
Not surprising tbh. They get after it after hours.
The other scandalous rumor I heard about them was that Spencer Lee was the one handling the gun when Sam Stoll got shot in the knee.
Athletes know the rules. Even things as benign as NCAA tournament pools are off-limits.
Rules say you should have a beer before you are 21, but most college students do.
As long as they didn’t bet on their own sport this should be a non story (unless we can use as leverage to get Barta fired)
Better check for gambling by refs.
Cmon now I believed all SEC schools and athletes were clean.
Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I heard from a good source that Eric Musselman was in Iowa City looking at refrigerators.
With a very selective prosecution like this, you could find refs , you could disqualify/damage Penn State football and wrestling, Ohio state, Alabama , Georgia you name it. You could probably nail many of the University administration of whatever school you want.
something about this smells very political
There's could be a silver lining in this situation. Maybe the one full-time employee of the U of I Athletics Department is Brian Ferentz! 🤣🤣🤣
I kid, I kid!
I kid, I kid!
