6 may have already been so it's not a huge adjustment.
It's too bad if it comes to fruition but there's a certain level of idiocy if there was a clear 'if you do this, this will happen' message and they did it.

No way. We make a bowl game, even if all 6 miss the whole year, which seems unlikely. None of those guys are game breakers, except Lee, but we have a lot of depth there.
Good depth. We have the best DL coach in the nation.
If Vegas has us at 5.5 wins there’s a real good chance we win 5-6 games.
Honestly it’s better to lose those guys now instead of having them practice with the first team then in August or September scramble to insert someone else and try to get them ready.
With CMC and his new staff I’d take the over on 5.5.
How has no one done any reporting on this? I'm guessing they'll drop this to the media the Friday before 4th of July?
Nick Osen was on KXNO the other day and said he believes everything will be public within the month of June IIRC.
I think they are waiting on the facts. It was heavily reported when it first broke and really nothing has changed since then. Just have to wait for the investigation to conclude.
You mean like speeding, jaywalking, being inebriated in a public place, illegal parking, spitting on the sidewalk, etc? The punishment needs to fit the crime.
The NCAA allows a player who was an accessory to murder to play without any penalty.
And they allow players taking pay-to-play money from boosters that's not actually an NIL deal. And that's a violation of 2 clear NCAA rules.
All of the rumored players are in good standing with grades and everything else AFAIK, but some on here want to kick them off the team for this? Ridiculous...
Also, it doesn't sound like they will be able to bury this story by dropping it on a holiday weekend. With the names and punishments being thrown around, it's going to be a massive story. The soft rumors around here, and other insider sources, will soften the blow for some, but it's still going to be a big deal.
The punishment for gambling is clear cut. It might be a stupid punishment. But they all knew it. If jaywalking, public into, and illegal parking had clear punishment too, I wouldn't feel sorry for them either.
I don't want the players to be kicked off the team (unless one or more was facilitating the gambling of the others). But I won't feel sorry for them if they are.
It's also pretty clear cut that you don't drink and drive. But we seem to not give two ***** about that anymore.
I've already assumed the worst..... we'll lose all 5 FB players for the entire season. Which will be a disaster for a team that was already possibly the worst in the Big 12 even with these 5 critical players.
I don't think anything worse than that will happen... so it's only up from here for me.

This is 110% a witch hunt by the gambling commission. I guarantee this is happening at colleges around the country, and the rest of the state. I just graduated from a small college and I can promise you there are underage students gambling everywhere. The fact that it was limited to Iowa State and Iowa is ridiculous.
I knew I could count of CF for the down low!
I'm confused. I have no idea what's going on. I guess I'll have to wait 'till it happens. LOL
This stuff is not too funny though.
