The University of Iowa announced Monday that 26 athletes across five sports are suspected of wagering on sports in violation of NCAA rules, and more than 100 people have been linked to an investigation. In addition, Iowa State acknowledged that some 15 of its athletes across three sports also are suspected of violating gambling rules.

The announcements came less than a week after Alabama fired its baseball coach, Brad Bohannon, following a report of suspicious bets made at an Ohio casino involving his team.

NCAA rules prohibit athletes, coaches and staff from betting on amateur, collegiate and professional sports in which the NCAA conducts a championship. For example, athletes cannot bet on NFL games even if state laws would legally allow them to do so if they weren’t competing under NCAA rules. It is illegal in Iowa for a person under 21 to wager on sports.

Brian Ohorilko, director of gaming for the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that his office was monitoring a law enforcement investigation of gambling among athletes at the two schools. He said he knows of no evidence indicating match fixing or suspicious wagering activity on Iowa or Iowa State contests.

Mighty tempting for a college kid trying to scrape together pizza and beer money for Friday night.

There have been cases where players and coaches got in trouble for joining a super bowl pool. Sometimes they can get carried away.

IIRC, the Ohio gambling people shut down betting on Iowa sports this past weekend because of weird movement.

Right? Bigtime sports is embracing gambling instead of keeping their distance. The NFL did so while moving a team to Vegas which I still maintain was a horribel idea and the Raider's arrest records seem to be bearing that out.
I'm ok with legal gambling but don't think NFL should be advertising it, or other sports programs. They just can't stop check their greed

I hate it. The flood of advertising for it is ridiculous. It is on the Browns Season Ticketholders App. I'm inundated with it. Radio. TV. It is dangerous and predatory.

The damn radio announcers are announcing the odds like it is news...

I don't know if you listen to Buck Sexton and Clay Travis. I rarely do since I retired,but Travis bases nearly everything he predicts politically on the Vegas odds. I find that very off putting.

The NCAA and professional sports governing bodies promote gambling. They assist the odds makers. Their position is extremely hypocritical.
