Gambling on your own team is like no-no number 1. They’ve played their final college snaps. Idiots.

I guess i was naive to think players wouldnt be stupid enough to bet on their own sport, much less their own games. With the numbers coming out, I would not be surprised if this kind of thing is a lot more widespread throughout CFB than I would have thought. Seems the issue is just not looking for it.
And someone had to know it to withhold them from camp. And no one asked or answered the hard questions.
Honestly, even if they didn't bet on ISU games, they should all be gone regardless. From everything we have heard (and no reason to doubt it), it is made crystal clear to every athlete and coach that gambling isn't allowed, period. I believe I've read they also signed acknowledgment forms that they understood this.
I realize this is happening at every school in America, but these guys got caught.

Depends on the book's license with the state. In Iowa, part of the license is they have to report student athletes or employees that engage in betting. Maybe that's not the case in other states, it should be, but maybe it's not?
This was started by the book informing the DCI as they're required to.
I just never would have believed this many players would bet on their own teams' games. I know nobody thinks they'll be caught, otherwise they wouldn't do it but still this just blows my mind.
Are we that far removed from Pete Rose that the example baseball made and continues to make of him is no longer hitting home? The answer is obvious now I suppose but never would have believed it.

It was asked and talked about at ISU media day. Campbell said he can't talk about it. Brock was specifically asked about, Campbell said he couldn't say why Brock was not practicing.
Man, Brock is going to have the weirdest career I can remember for a football player. One of the highest ranked recruits ever at ISU, plays behind two NFL backs, gets his chance/gets hurt, then gambles away his senior year.
And it's WAY easier in today's world to prove it than it was when Pete Rose was doing it.
Lee beat on Texas to beat Iowa State.

Correct. I was making a joke, I should have explained it.
For years I have enjoyed a good chuckle when a new commit says, "I can't wait to be apart of the basketball program in Ames!" when what they really mean is "a part of."
This was the same joke in reverse. Just gently poking fun at people misusing the phrase.
I don’t know why a player would bet against their own team…
Someone mentioned him possibly joining the staff. Doesn't seem like a good idea.
Remsburg might be somewhat the smartest one of them all but still dumb. He might have the smallest penalty of all.
"Remsburg, an offensive lineman, is accused of placing a total of 273 wagers with six of those on NCAA basketball and football games, though none are alleged to have involved Iowa State, according to court records."

Set aside what a terrible example that would set. Would it even be allowed?
