ISU Gambling Megathread

[Trice]

Making my way through this new longform piece about the betting scandal. Haven't finished but one revelation, at least to me, is that these guys are saying they don't recognize some of the bets they're accused of making, specifically certain ones regarding their own games.

Has that been reported before? I haven't followed every detail since this broke last year.

I mean I wouldn't admit to that either and I am sure their lawyer is telling them the same.

Thought the most interesting part was the players (Lee specifically) being told by the DCI “we don’t want to get involved with the schools or to the NCAA, you guys are small fish compared to what we’re going after.”

That clearly wasn’t the case.

Fair point. But then I would think they would be advised to deny other bets too, if only because it looks sketchy to own up to all the bets you made except for the singular worst one.

Got a buddy who's a former DCI guy who left specifically because of the culture there that allowed this kind of deceit to go on. I can't remember if he left before all this happened; he didn't know anything about any of it but wasn't surprised at the DCI's behavior.

I've followed this close enough. This is new information. Granted, most everything I've seen is from Keith Murphy and the DMR, so...

Not entirely true based on the article. The Agent who said that in the interview with Lee and the Agent who started this whole thing are different. The Agent who told Lee that was led to believe the scope on the investigation was sportsbooks not the players. And the quoted agent seems quite remorseful of getting the players involved.

Close to home, have a friend whose kid was on the team. Not sure if he graduated in 23 or 24 though... will have to ask about it next time I see him.
