In the state of Iowa, there seems to be a gambling issue for both of the major schools in the state. Players for both the Iowa Hawkeyes and [autotag]Iowa State Cyclones[/autotag] were named in the state’s investigation.
One of those players named is no longer with the football program in Ames. Isaiah Lee has left the program according to a report from the Associated Press. Lee appeared in 12 games last season for the Cyclones while accumulating 22 tackles and 1.5 TFLs.
Lee was among five other players at Iowa State that have been charged.
Lee was charged with tampering with records for allegedly disguising his identity to place online sports wagers, according to court documents.
What remains to be seen is how the punishments will be laid out for involvement in these online wagers. Already this offseason we have seen Iowa State starting quarterback Hunter Dekkers release a statement. In that statement, he admitted that he would not be at camp until the matter is resolved.
