which he then spent all his time following but found a loophole. He crashed THREE planes together. The rule was if you crashed two planes together you had to resign or be fired.

What if one of those was on a treadmill?
Ferentz is crying to the NCAA to be nice. He says more then 2 dozen active athletes are involved. And 100 people with ties to the athletic department are involved. From CBS Sports. 5 sports. I didn’t notice the spelling was wrong, I had to correct it about 4 times before it left the spelling alone. My ipad.

Kudos to your spellcheck for "Ferments". Seems when the press is around he's always stewed about something.
Iowa's Kirk Ferentz calls on NCAA to revisit gambling sanctions amid probe involving Hawkeyes players
Ferentz would like to see the NCAA adopt a gambling enforcement policy similar to the NFL
Mostly quotes w/o commentary. Comes up at the beginning and again later.
As much as I dislike the guy and the program, I have to agree.
A lifetime ban for betting $10 on the over on an NBA game you have zero connection to is ludicrous. The floated incremental punishments based off how much and what was bet on make more sense.
Secondly, however many are caught up at UI, I would wager (get it? get it?) that about every other school in the US has the same situation. The whole gambling app explosion has a ton of people doing it, including young people.
I would guess the 'right' programs need to be outed and then shazam! no penalties for anyone.

And just now I’m realizing the message said the staffer was asked to “quit or resign,“ being fired wasn’t an option.
Isn’t quitting and resigning the exact same thing? Where’s the “choice” lol?

IMO, this is probably a dumb analogy, but if you’re speeding and cop pulls you over you can’t say “I know I was breaking the law, but I was driving safe!”
These athletes know they can’t gamble, regardless of what it’s on, they have a speaker come in every year and give them a talk on this, and if you don’t abide by the guidelines and boundaries that have been set forth for all athletes to follow, then yes, there should be a punishment.
Now, a lifetime ban is probably a bit aggressive, but right now they’re in the “find out” stage of “f**k around, and find out.”
Brian has chosen the "quiet quitting" method. You simply stop doing your job, don't tell anyone, and keep collecting a paycheck.
Kind of funny but I did something similar to that a few weeks ago.
I was leaving a race track and I knew there was a stop sign coming up so I was going slow looking for it and rolled right passed it. A cop was sitting there watching and pulled me over. I told him I knew it was somewhere around there and was looking for it and when I saw it I was going by it. He laughed and said I could tell you were looking for it but I had to pull you over. And then just let me go on my way.
But yes these guys have it pounded in their heads that they can’t gamble
