El escolta de baloncesto Jeremiah Williams y el corredor de fútbol Jireh Brock enfrentan cargos relacionados con la investigación.
Una investigación sobre apuestas deportivas realizada por la División de Investigación Criminal de Iowa provocó la salida de varios atletas del estado de Iowa, según informes de noticias locales publicados en el Des Moines Register. El exescolta de baloncesto del estado de Iowa, Jeremiah Williams, fue acusado recientemente de "alterar los registros" relacionados con la investigación.

Una denuncia penal publicada recientemente por la Oficina del Fiscal del Condado de Story expuso los detalles de los cargos de Williams. Según la denuncia, "Williams habría participado en un plan para realizar apuestas deportivas cuando era menor de edad", lo que supuso 15 apuestas por un total de 1560 dólares.

Sin embargo, el informe no indica si estas apuestas se realizaron en eventos deportivos del estado de Iowa.

Williams se trasladó recientemente a Rutgers después de que se presentaran cargos. Según el informe de la prensa local, Williams no jugó para su antiguo equipo debido a una grave lesión en el tendón de Aquiles durante un entrenamiento el otoño pasado.

Pero las salidas de los atletas del estado de Iowa no se limitan al baloncesto. El corredor de fútbol del estado de Iowa, Jireh Brock, también investigado por la División de Investigación Criminal de Iowa, recientemente dejó el equipo, según un portavoz del departamento de atletismo.

Brock se fue poco después de la partida del liniero defensivo Isaiah Lee hace un par de semanas. Lee fue acusado recientemente de "manipular registros para disfrazar su identidad en línea con el fin de apostar en deportes". "

El incidente de Lee involucró 12 apuestas en partidos de fútbol del estado de Iowa. La investigación descubrió que Lee había realizado un total de 115 apuestas por un total de más de 885 dólares. Entre ellas estaba una apuesta que Lee hizo contra su equipo, los Iowa State Cyclones.
