Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Dresser says investigation shows 'you can't be college kids in this day and age if you're a Division I athlete.'
USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt explains that while he's never won a NBA Coach of the Year Award, Erik Spoelstra still deserves to be discussed amongst the greatest coaches of all time.PATON, Iowa — Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Dresser likened the investigation into student-athletes' sports gambling to a"witch hunt" during Monday’s stop on the annual Cyclones Tailgate Tour.
Dresser was asked to comment about last week’s news that 41 student-athletes at Iowa State and Iowa are being investigated for allegations of sports gambling. Iowa State confirmed that"approximately 15" student-athletes from football, wrestling and track and field might have violated NCAA rules. At Iowa, 26 athletes from baseball, football, men’s basketball and men’s track and field had been flagged.
"We’ll just deal with whatever comes our way," Iowa State football coach Matt Campbell said."I really don’t know a whole lot. What we do know, I don’t know if it has a profound effect one way or another. "At the end of the day, will there be some that probably sit out a little bit? Yeah, there probably will be. I also look at it in the big scheme of things. These guys didn’t assault anybody. These guys didn’t get a drunk driving . It’s another example that Division I athletes are held to a different standard than the average college student.It is unknown if the investigation is just among some athletes at Iowa’s flagship universities, or if it’s national.
