You can rip on me all you want... I will just say that I'm hoping and praying (and I'm not religious at all) that you are right.
I don't want this to be a permanent stain on ISU athletics. I will LOVE being absolutely wrong about this.
I hate to be that guy but so much 5* culture. I sure hope the boys can use this as motivation!
Lovely. Starting RB, TE, lineman, ouch. Where are the tavern Hawks with all of this? Aren't there EIU guys in trouble for the same thing?
They didn’t know anything would be coming out and they didn’t know specifics. I would caveat that though in the sense of knowing facts. Of course Compliance and players/coaches knew rumors and what the parties involved had told their peers, we all did. But they weren’t going to go fishing for things or formalize anything that didn’t get brought out by the DCI.
Wouldn't a similar investigation at other schools uncover a similar number of infractions? Football has 85 scholarship players. You are going to have a few idiots on every team. It sucks more that one of our idiots happened to be our starting QB.
Probably Iowa fan that started this whole probe. Iowa’s second and third stringers can be sacrificed lambs.
Remember Penn States stain. About all but forgotten. This is nothing. Nothing.
I’m not defending Dekkers at all because it was a dumb choice but the whole sports betting culture is everywhere. You see in game odds during broadcasts and sports betting shows plus all the sites have promotions to get new bettors. I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more (it definitely does) where kids get NIL money and fire it on something they have control or inside information about. Hopefully he can rebound somewhere and continue to play at the NAIA level
I'm starting to feel the same way the last couple years. The indications have been leaning more to the Montgomery, Breece, Brock, brilliant DC side than the "culture" side on why Campbell has been successful.
The book initiated it. It's a condition of their license that they're going to defend at all costs.
Probably true, but our local media will never let it go
I'm guessing the bet takers. I'm sure they have some required auditing to keep their sports betting license and since most people lose their asses on it they want to keep that spigot open.
I'm more surprised a kid this stupid was handed the backup role to Purdy for a long time and then given the keys to the team. Woof!
Screw him, he could have bet without betting on his team.
But wouldn't you think the compliance office would pay alot closer attention to players like the starting QB rather than the backup long snapper?
Consider this. Dekkers placed that bet just a few weeks after he replaced Purdy against Iowa when Purdy was a turnover machine. Purdy could have easily been hurt or simply played poorly enough against OkSt to get benched.
