ISU Gambling Megathread

[MushroomPinball]

I would never bet against myself. I would lay a $20 down that I get laid tonight, at best 1% chance.

What's the over/under for how many times?

What's the over/under for how many times?

1, but if only one of them finishes it counts as a half so the under is the clear favorite right now.

This is a dumb question but how are NIL deals paid? Is it “per appearance” or all up front? Do these guys have to repay NIL money?

Side bar—-I remember my aunt telling me stories about ISU athletes frequenting Meskwaki with their per diem money shortly after it opened in the 1990’s. Not defending these guys but it’s just too easy these days to get caught.

And why is the bolded an issue. We used to go up to Mystic Lake in MN, to gamble because you didn't have to be 21.

So what was the difference between 2021 and pre-legal gambling by app? Did the appeal, temptation and accessibility not increase 1000-fold?

Not gambling has been known by players for decades. (Legal or illegal) There are signs posted all over. Yeah availability increased but do you think the athletic dept should take their devices and make sure they don't have gambling apps? I mean they've talked about violence against others to the athletes but invariably there is someone that acts violently to someone else.

So you honestly believe it's just a strange coincidence that the Iowa players that were gambling transferred out? I don't believe that for a second.

Not a strange coincidence. Just a normal, every day coincidence.

Doesn't look good for these hawkeyes. Anyone know if they are practicing with the team? If so, that is a distinct difference from ISU, right there.

Only one of those three players is still on the Iowa team, I think.

Gambling isn’t against any rules, gambling on sports is. There weren’t sports books in Iowa until 4 or 5 years ago

The only one of those guys that is with Iowa is walk on WR Jack Johnson. Not sure if he was practicing or not.

I have friends that were on the men's ISU club volleyball team. They had people approach them about ISU football while they played tourneys in Vegas. Not only wanting general info but player contact info as well.

I had a kid on my dorm floor who'd ask me every week for injuries and such so he could make bets.

 

[Yellow Snow]

This seems to be a fair and reasonable discussion.... from the 365 guys...

 

[Land Grant]

This is beyond stupid. Makes Campbell look incompetent or hypocritical. Cannot decide which one, but they are both losers.

 

[madguy30]

It is my understanding CMC has known about these guys for some time so the team has been preparing without them. I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet.

Repeating and I know they're key pieces but this is a great test to really see where the program is depth/talentwise.

 

[t-noah]

It's a shame Iowa is one of the few, or only states (?) pushing this gambling probe.

On the other hand, I have no real forgiveness (as to penalties) for these Iowa and ISU players. They knew the rules and chose to disregard them.

I would have hoped Lee and Brock would have been smarter and known better, alas, no. As far as Dekkers, the QB and team leader, good riddance. We are better off without you.

And why is the bolded an issue. We used to go up to Mystic Lake in MN, to gamble because you didn't have to be 21.

Are you bragging about this?

Just curious.

 

[madguy30]

Lee bet against ISU? If I ever see him I’m going to Hank him and spit some Beech-Nut in that dude's eyes.

There's a CF article up with more details.

I'm gonna start betting on things in my life and see what that's like. Like do I make different decisions? Read more non fiction? Sounds pretty wild.

Never said it was an issue.

 

[madguy30]

The thing that’s annoying is the headlines this is making with national guys and some even local guys.

Iowa state knew this was happening. They’ve all moved on. These guys haven’t been with the team since spring.

This is nothing new inside the program.

Maybe the actual details are new but again, these guys haven’t been with us.

Imo to the outside it may makCMC look bad to those who don't know the details, like there was much he could do to stop it or say in public.

 

[CycloneWanderer]

There are good reasons to not make public statements regarding investigations like these as a head FB coach. Coach might have taken action quickly to identify any and all players involved internally. You keep those players out, but shouldn't be saying anything that influences the investigation.
