ISU Gambling Megathread

Good news.... nobody outside of this board probably cares about Iowa State gambling issues any longer:)
Yeah, I didn’t think it would be possible that a gambling fiasco of the starting QB a month or so prior to the season opener would become a lesser event but B12 new membership has shoved it into the background.
 
I fully agree that they probably never assumed it would get to this point, but helping your kid illegally gamble on sports is quite different than sharing a Netflix password.
Some parents are willing to buy their underage kids alcohol or even host parties serving alcohol to underage kids.

Just because someone is the parent in the relationship, doesn't mean they always make adult decisions.
 
I'd probably let my kids gamble when 18. I illegally played online poker for money back in the day. Played friends for money starting at like age 14.
I wouldn't care if they went to a friends house and played poker or whatever when they're 14, assuming they're not losing (or probably even winning) massive amounts of money. I'm sure as **** not creating a draftkings account in my name for them to use. I'd place a bet for them though, unless they were dumb and wanted to bet the over on the cyhawk game or something.
 
So has there been any kind of confirmation or anything about Dekkers official status with the team. I know he hasn't been practicing and his lawyers statement said he was taking a leave from the team to focus on academics and his legal defense. So if Dekkers wanted to come back to the team could he? It doesn't seem like he officially quit and he hasn't officially been removed from the team. Seems it's just in limbo right now. It's odd to me that there wouldn't be definitive statement on his status as a member of the team at this point given the info thats out there.

Connor's article abut media day said "Campbell did mention that there was news that broke that his program did not know about. He didn’t expand on the specifics of it, but there is more."

Any ideas what this could be?
 
Then the parents are dumb. Like I said earlier, they are either really dumb, or extremely egotistical to get into a situation like this. There isn’t an alternative.
You'll be sharing quite a bit of financial info with your children when you file FAFSA forms for college applications. SSNs included.

I imagine your kids will also discover your filing system for birth certificates and such when they're getting jobs at 16.

The inescapable truth, though, is that the mom should have been getting 1099 forms from DK so there's no way she could not have been a willing participant...

There is a potential reality that it was a February (1099 mailer) discovery and she tried to clean up the mess after the fact. ("HUNTER DECKERS! What have you been doing!?")
 
Oh I agree, don't get me wrong the idiots shouldn't have been betting in the first place as they were obviously warned, but being stupid enough to leave an electronic footprint that leads a path straight to you is next level stupid.
Not defending their actions, but I doubt they even realized they had an electronic footprint or knew how cell phones worked.

I've never gotten a 1099 from DK in the 3 years I've been using it..

Dk I think sent me an email saying to download them from your app or website login under the tax document tab. I think you might have to opt in to paper.
 
This gambling investigation is taking way too long, especially for the potential crimes committed. I don't think we will have a resolution before the first game at this point.

They're 18 so they get to make adult decisions, but I certainly wouldn't ever encourage gambling myself. It's highly addictive and could have devastating life affects on people that can't handle that dopamine rush. But I come from a family that's dealt with addiction issues so I'm hyper aware of that.

I'm pretty sure what's come out so far is it as far as those who committed actual crimes.. The rest would be NCAA violations.
