The Iowa State gambling puzzle: Faces in question and NCAA standards

The NCAA Rules are fortunately not mum on the issue of gambling or even tampering with the records. According to the regulations, an athlete who places bets on their team in any sporting event is subject to potential permanent loss of eligibility. Tampering with records also is treated with a heavy hell, leading to a maximum sentence of one year in county jail or up to two years in prison upon conviction.

The recently filed criminal complaints, accompanied by substantial evidence, accuse individuals Bracy, Bruce, Johnson, and O'Brien of deliberately falsifying electronic records related to sports wagering. This deceptive act was apparently carried out to obscure their identities, reported Hawk Central.
