Iowa is under investigation by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission after four baseball players, including star hitter Keaton Anthony, were suspended by the university. The commission released this information to Action Network.
The university never admitted that the suspensions were due to gambling but that they withheld some student athletes due to a potential violation.
They did say that they received information on 111 individuals in total, including 26 current student-athletes from baseball, football, men’s basketball, men’s track and field and wrestling, along with one full-time employee in the athletics department.
