The NCAA has disciplined five current or former Iowa State football support staff members for participating in over 6,200 online bets totaling more than $100,000 on professional and college games, including men's and women's basketball games involving the Cyclones. The individuals acknowledged violating NCAA sports wagering bylaws and are subject to a one-year show-cause order through April 24, 2026. If hired by another school's athletic department, they will have to attend the annual NCAA Regional Rules Seminar at their own expense and serve a two-week suspension during the show-cause period. The violations were classified as Level II, potentially compromising the integrity of the NCAA collegiate model. The state investigation into sports wagering activities in campus athletic facilities also revealed underage online sports wagering at colleges in the state, leading to charges against dozens of athletes.
