And they all just look the other way when it comes to March Madness brackets... Athletes post them online even
There is not one EIU player I would pump for information.
Nothing wrong with filling out a bracket, just don’t put money on it. See: Neuheisel, Rick.

Unless you run your mouth, couldn't any student athlete in the country be doing it without anyone knowing? Of course, guys that bet like to run their mouths about how smart they are (see numerous threads on CF over the years) so I guess if the student is winning he'd probably talk especially given a few drinkies.
The number of guys I knew in my 20's and 30's that bet on sports made me the odd guy out. That was years ago when it wasn't even legal in Minnesota (still isn't) and you had to use shady bookie guys in Minnesota to do it. Now it its easy peasy via an app on your phone, gotta be a LOT of young guys doing it, including student athletes.
Did they also forget to mention that the Big 10 sucks at baseball and nobody really cares other than douche Iowa fans?
50-60 years ago "agents" were positioned at every school to gather insider information. It was not unknown that the agent might be an insider. Why do you think the lines are so accurate. NFL responded somewhat with rules requiring some information be made public. NCAA took another blind eye. They spend a lot of money gathering information to feed into their computers. It is a science with a lot of money at stake.
It doesn't make it a non-issue.
But it isn't something that Cyclone fans should take pleasure in. When the Aidan Ralph story broke last week my Hawk friend was quick to mention and point out- what's up with Cyclone athletics?
Neither is a good look for Iowa or Iowa State, but come down to personal choices by individuals. The sports betting story is a bit different because there are rules that coaches and student-athletes must live by.
There is something to it, but he also said no current investigation for any current Iowa football players.
Saying nothing about why he was suspended. The gambling storyline is hearsay
The posts that were reporting rumors of a gambling scandal were followed by the University's official statement indicating players are being withheld from competition due to possible NCAA violations.
You are correct that it is still speculation at this point, but it seems highly likely the statement is related to the gambling rumors.
3 baseball players bet on Iowa to beat South Carolina in women’s basketball. Potentially (this part is strictly rumor at this point) a football player who transferred out bet the under of the Iowa-PSU game in 2021.
I used to be a member here, never posted much, went to reply to this to add some details and it said I didn’t have a membership, so I joined. I enjoy seeing the perspective from Iowa’s rivals on topics involving Iowa. Mostly I chuckle at nonsense, but that is no different than when I read Iowa’s message boards as well
So has Swarm named these players?3 baseball players bet on Iowa to beat South Carolina in women’s basketball. Potentially (this part is strictly rumor at this point) a football player who transferred out bet the under of the Iowa-PSU game in 2021.

Well we won’t have ISU baseball players betting on anything
