ISU Gambling Megathread

Losing these 5 starters before the season is almost like having a 2nd round of graduation, albeit a small class. Except you didn't get to recruit anyone to replace them.
 
I don’t want this small time gambling stuff to ruin the players' lives, and it looks like it won’t.

But it sure looks like it sunk the offense this year.
 
After watching the bizarre officiating at Ohio I don't think the athletes are the only ones gambling on the games.

The official kicking the ball away from the center to allow Ohio to run some players on the field - that was no accident.
 
Should change the thread title to: ROGUE IOWA DCI AGENT GOING TO LOSE HIS JOB AND COST THE STATE OF IOWA MILLIONS!!!


i sure hope this ends with names being named as to who ordered the hit. the iowa taxpayers deserve to know their name, and what is the harm in spending more resources to get to the bottom of why all these tax dollars were misspent investigating some underage gambling misdemeanors?

Well it really was a state wide investigation. They used a Dubuque County prosecutor, warrants from Pottawatomie, residents in Story and Johnson.

Something about all of this seems really odd

Fascinating to me. Like I said all along they underage gambled give the the fine. But nooooo they had to try to make it a bigger deal and it's going to all blow up big time in their face. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS!!

And this blows apart the argument that the sports books found it and turned it over to DCI, because per Van Plumb the sports books didn't even know the investigation was happening.

To someone with no legal background at all, it looks to me like the DCI was hunting around for prosecutors and judges that would even take the case. Not a good sign for them.

A judge will also look at those plea deals and see they(DCI) were taking advantage of young adults to just have this behind them. They were all hesitant to sign those plea deals because of what was included in them. Glad Hanika didnt sign

Remsberg's dad has been tweeting about it and tweeted that the players and their parents had to provide some of their own proof even to get the plea deals.

Reading between the lines from what he said is that the parents may have also gambled and had to provide evidence that some of the betting was actually the parents.

this sure stinks of someone trying to pre-emptively shape the narrative or silence it entirely.

i hope hanika has enough funding and spite to carry this out all the way to trial and some agents are forced to testify on the why.

Yeah, i'd be interested in a lawyer's opinion there, it seemed like they were wanting them to admit to things that weren't crimes, but were NCAA violations. Seems really weird.
