    MileHigh suggested it. I figured 100 athletes being investigated was a good launching point.

    Ya think we're starting a cycle here? College athletes are finally getting a little pocket money thanks to NIL, and they're gonna gamble some of it. Shocking.

    They all bet against Rick Barnes in March. Who could blame them?

    Can they be blamed for pounding the "under" when betting on Iowa football with that offense?

    And yet again, Northern Iowa gets left out of the coverage. #FCS

    That's exactly what I texted some friends last night. That's not gambling, that's just smart investing.

    And every commercial break on ESPN has an ad for a sports book app.

    I was watching a mid-February Michigan State basketball game and at the mid court ad screen was an ad for Caesars sports book with the Sparty logo.

    WHAT COULD GO WRONG
