  • Following a bombshell report from The Fresno Bee that multiple players on the Fresno State Bulldogs men's basketball team were the subject on NCAA investigations into gambling, the program has reportedly handed out some punishments.

The University of Iowa's men's basketball team has suspended several players following a report by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission about potential violations of NCAA gambling rules. The investigation revealed that individuals associated with the university, including athletes, placed bets on sports, with some bets involving Iowa sports events. Although the specific players and the extent of their involvement were not detailed in the report, the university confirmed that the suspensions were a direct result of this investigation. The NCAA strictly prohibits athletes from betting on any sports, including their own, to maintain the integrity of college sports. The university is cooperating with the investigation, and further details on the suspensions and the investigation's outcomes are expected to be released as the situation develops.
