ISU Gambling Megathread
- Thread starter Cyclonemaniac

I don't get these rants against DCI doing their job.
Wasn't the illegal activity reported to DCI, and DCI asked to investigate it? What did you want them to do? Cover it up?
On top of that they didn’t just decide to do it. The books are legally required to track athletes and relations to athletes in Iowa. On top of that on top of that books are legally required to report any suspicious activity and have it investitaged. Their licenses literally depend on it. Billions on billions of dollars at stake if they don’t follow regulations.
These conspiracy theories and “they are targeting Iowa and Iowa State and it wouldn’t happen anywhere else” is getting silly.
If no other states investigate gambling in their public university sports programs then ferentz and Campbell should be fired if for no other reason they couldn’t stop it. Then you will know why barta took the golden parachute
As a friend and I discussed earlier tonight: are other underage college students being investigated? Have any officials been investigated? Any other insiders investigated? Until we hear otherwiswe, this appears to be a targeted sting against athletes for the sake of a "feather in the cap" of the various public officials involved.
That being said, what the athletes did was WRONG. But, these investigators picked on the low hanging fruit of youth, stupidity, and the athletes belief that they would never get caught.

Lol any anyone that doesn’t think this year’s team isn’t going to be a complete disaster. I put the over/under wins at 3.
What would it have been with these 4 pretty good players?
The investigators are investigating potentially illegal activity that was reported to them by the sports books. Why is this so hard to understand?
Anything less than 6 and this message board is gonna be…is CMC the guy?? Let’s see if that thread gets 26k posts. Doubt it

Oh please enlighten us with your wisdom, smart guy.
I’m saying if the most powerful football voices in the state couldn’t squash this and the most powerful AD quit because this was happening, then the powerful football brokers of Iowa are feckless. This isn’t happening anywhere else because ferentz, Campbell, and barta are weak
Maybe this is just the dumb fan in me but I think in the long run this is only good for the team going forward. Clearly had a pretty severe culture problem that could have lingered for a long time if they didn’t investigate.
Aw yeah now we're getting somewhere!
That’s a stretch, but I like it. I’m in!
All I’m saying is if 100+ schools are dealing with this in 6 months we are cool. But if in 6 months no other schools have to deal with this than something is wrong with our s***.
I agree. I would be interested in knowing if non-athletes got caught/prosecuted though. Perhaps the method of data collection wouldn't apply. Perhaps there are non-athletes being investigated like, but we wouldn't know. More of a curiosity.
