Company: No proof Iowa, Iowa St

One of the state companies involved in the ongoing examination of alleged sports betting offenses by Iowa and Iowa State athletes announced Thursday no proof had actually been discovered to suggest the outcome of any contest including the schools was affected by betting interests.A total of seven present or previous athletes at the 2 schools were criminally charged today, especially ISU quarterback Hunter Dekkers and ex-Iowa basketball player Ahron Ulis.All 7 are charged with damaging records, and

all are presumed of putting bets on contests including their own schools. Four are alleged to have actually bet on games including their own teams.Editor’s Picks 2 Related The seven athletes are suspected of integrating for more than 5,000 wagers totaling more than$100,000

that were positioned between January 2021 through May 2023. In addition to facing criminal charges, the current athletes could surrender all or part of their staying eligibility for breaking NCAA gambling rules.The Iowa Racing and Gambling Commission said in a declaration it had evaluated how wagering lines moved, variety of wagers, size of wagers, kinds of wagers and the settlement of related wagers.

The commission also worked with organizations that keep track of integrity of contests, sportsbooks and gambling markets in other states. “In light of recent charges filed in the state relating to possible sports wagering violations by student athletes, the Iowa Racing and Video Gaming Commission( IRGC)would like to affirm that it does not currently have

any info that would call into question the stability of any sports betting contest or occasion involving the University of Iowa or Iowa State University,” the IRGC said.The IRGC stated it analyzes betting activity with details readily available from stability monitoring service providers, sportsbooks, other regulatory jurisdictions, sports leagues, law enforcement and the public.An IRGC spokesperson declined to comment further.The damaging records charges come from athletes presumably concealing their identities by positioning bets with online sportsbook accounts signed up under the names of close loved ones. The legal age for wagering in Iowa is 21, and each of the professional athletes is thought to have been underage

while making some or all of the bets.The professional athletes charged in addition to Dekkers and Ulis are Iowa State football player Dodge Sauser and previous player Eyioma Uwazurike, ISU wrestler Paniro Johnson, Iowa baseball player Gehrig Christensen and Iowa football player Aaron Blom.Uwazurike is implicated of betting on 2 games in which he played in 2021, the 27-21 loss to Iowa and 59-7 win over Kansas. He was prepared by Denver in 2022 and suspended indefinitely by the NFL for banking on Broncos games throughout his rookie season.Dekkers is believed of betting on the 2021 Iowa State-Oklahoma State football game. Dekkers was the backup quarterback

and did not play in the Cyclones’24-21 win.Sauser, an offending lineman, apparently wagered on the Cyclones ‘2022 football games against Ohio, West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. He did not appear in any of the games.One of Blom’s bets consisted of the 2021 Iowa-Iowa

State football game, according to the complaint. The bet Blom put on the competition game was an over-under wager, which needs the bettor to pick whether the

groups will combine for more or less than a designated combined point overall. The over-under for the game was 45 points, and the total was 44. Blom, who did not participate in the game, picked the under, according to the grievance.
