    PointsBet and FanDuel used to have UNI/valley FCS football lines.

    Of course, a total of 41 players are involved for Iowa-Iowa State. It’ll start at 41 and fall to 37.5 involved by the time the formal documents are filed.

    El Assico is one of Spencer Hall’s more underrated bits.

    Europe has handled it for decades. The online aspect is definitely a new complication.

    Guess the starting point is to hammer the shit out of everyone at the start of it, like the Black Sox, and let the deterrence carry the day.

    We should probably just change the thread title to "Athletes" instead of "College Athletes"

    Will books stop taking action on certain teams? Conferences? Or will every "event" be treated like a one-off?

    They still post lines on lower level tennis tournaments - despite dozens of match-fixing allegations.

    I pay a "service fee," a "handling fee" etc. for concert tickets they send me on my phone, but the books won't include a "Corruption Fee" on shaky sports event? Where is the outrage?
