ISU Gambling Megathread

[Trice]

I would agree if you think it is going to be a one or two game suspension. If you think these players, all seniors, are going to be suspended for 6 games or maybe not even play then maybe that is a different situation. I don't know what is likely to happen, but I find it funny that everyone is questioning how CMC is handling the situation. He obviously knows more than us about the situation and he is doing what he thinks is best for the team.

To be clear, I don't have a real strong opinion on this and probably won't until we know all the facts.

But at least for me, the days of treating Campbell's every decision as above reproach are over.

Ok, but I keep seeing people say they are holding out hope that “Brock will be suspended 6 games” or “Lee will be suspended 1 game”, etc.

Those things aren’t happening.

The NCAA changed their rules for amounts of suspension dependent on the amounts wagered. There will be NCAA punishment. But I also think there will be internal ISU "culture" suspensions too. Something like "conduct detrimental to the team."

Apparently the practice photo thing is a staffing deal.


Both of the starters that were mentioned are also in this video.

I don't know. The whole thing is just a mess and the NCAA doesn't move fast.

**** is wild. The hypocrisy:

It's an arms race between alcohol and sports betting to see which can dominate first.

Sounds like info is still being discovered and gathered. It's a shame that the DCI is dragging this out.

My best guess is Campbell and staff are focused on getting the guys they know are eligible ready for the season. Anything else is a distraction. Just a guess though. I would be very surprised if the guys mentioned are sitting on their asses during all of this.

It's interesting to see how the staff in IC is handling this. They either aren't worried about the charges or don't care. We know Shannon is involved, and chatter on their boards is that one or two more starters are involved at some level. But it seems to be all systems go over there while our guys have effectively disappeared from the team.

It is interesting philosophy on both sides. On the one hand, if any of the iowa players are suspended for half a season or more, those are essentially wasted reps that could have gone to another player. On the other, if any of the ISU players are suspended 1 game or less, you are in effect making it a 2 or 3 game suspension with the time it takes for those players to get back up to speed.

I don't know how many reps the players in IC are getting but I would think a good middle ground would be to have the guys take reps with the 3rd team. That way they're still practicing, still getting work on technique with their position coaches, etc. while also getting the players who will be playing week 1 the reps they need.

Unless Campbell is going to suspend them regardless, or he knows they likely will be out (for the year). Either supposition would answer as to why they are not around/practicing.

Some Iowa fan had posted on here that a couple starting DBs were going to miss some time and they were in a video practicing. So I don't know how much it will tell you.

Probably violation of team rules. Even if it wasn't illegal, I'm sure it was discussed clearly and they knew they were violating them by doing it.

The rumor has always been the four upperclassmen are done. Their entire final year of eligibility is lost. Dekkers was the only one who had the potential for a redemption, but that thought was before we knew he gambled on a ISU game he was eligible to play in.

As I walk thru these posts, it's relatively clear that toe thinks their players will be back (atleast the ones practicing), ISU does not.

As far as I'm aware there would only be concerns from playing an ineligible player in a game. I have no idea why they would be held out of practice.

Maybe it's a 'no contact with the team' thing.

Bruce is cooked.

Bruce is cooked.

Let this conspiracy theories begin on Bruce. He might be done in CFB.

Yeah it doesn't seem like he's going to be playing anymore.

 

[FallOf81]

Bruce is cooked.

They are probably all practicing and Fawks to release statement saying their law school will be filing a countersuit. Oh, and they'll play in our game due to an appeal by their law school.

 

[mitchforcy]

He's for sure done. From what I understand if you are betting on your own games you lose all eligibility.

 

[cyclonez7]

Anyone know what tampering with records actually means?

 

[mitchforcy]

Brock is done.

Could be wrong but I think it may be betting under an account that isn't tied to your name.

Oops.

Makes sense why these guys haven't been apart of camp.
