Iowa State Athletics Issues a Statement in Response to Allegations of Sports Betting Involving 15 Student-Athletes
Iowa State's 15 student-athletes have been found to be entangled in allegations involving online sports gambling. The school's athletics program has discovered them to be in violation of NCAA rules and guidelines. The Cyclone student-athlete's involvement has not been identified, but the university issued a statement on the matter just hours after the Iowa Hawkeyes baseball team learned that the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission was looking into them.
Iowa State University and its Department of Intercollegiate Athletics are aware of NCAA rule violations involving approximately 15 of our active student-athletes from football, wrestling, and track and field. The university has informed the NCAA and will take the necessary steps to resolve these issues. These two instances of sports betting are not isolated offenses. A recent flood of NCAA rule violations involving college athletics has resulted in the dismissal of both athletes and coaches from their respective programs.
The most high-profile occurred after the Alabama baseball team fired head coach Brad Bohannon in connection with a betting scandal involving two suspicious bets placed on a baseball game between LSU and Alabama at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati's Sportsbook. These sports betting scandals have rocked not only college sports but also the professional level. Five NFL players were fined for betting on games, some on the NFL, and for violating league gambling policies. Several players were removed from the roster, and some were suspended for up to a full calendar year. It's impossible to predict where the next allegations will come from.
