The NCAA is reconsidering its gambling penalties for those who don’t wager on their own teams, and it could mean reduced sanctions — or perhaps none at all — for some of the Iowa and Iowa State athletes involved in the state’s sports wagering investigation.

Ben Kueter’s two-sport juggling act is underway.

The University of Iowa announced Tuesday that it has received eligibility rulings for 11 current student-athletes who were involved in the state Division of Criminal Investigation’s sports gambling investigation.

The middle of Iowa’s order picked up a double portal push Friday when the Hawkeyes scooped up North Dakota State All-Americans Jared Franek and Michael Caliendo.

Iowa supplemented its lightweight depth Saturday when Oklahoma transfer Joey Cruz committed to the Hawkeyes.

NCAA qualifier Victor Voinovich, who entered the transfer portal last month after his freshman season at Oklahoma State, announced Monday that he’s headed to Iowa.

If numbers are your thing, then the University of Iowa's average dual attendance figures will leave you in awe. The Hawkeyes averaged over 14,000 per home dual for the second year in a row, and have averaged over 10,000 during five of the past seven seasons (not including the 2021 COVID year where fans weren't allowed).

For every Greg Randall, there is Mitch Kelly. For every Spencer Lee, there is Joe Kelly.

The third time’s a charm when it comes to the relationship between Real Woods and the University of Iowa wrestling program.

Top-ranked Penn State took down #2 Iowa 23-14 on Friday night in front of a sellout crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center, where the Nittany Lions used a pin from Roman Bravo-Young at 133 and closed the dual with four consecutive victories to rally back against the Hawkeyes.

Three-time NCAA 125-pound champion Spencer Lee seemed perplexed. He shrugged his shoulders and flashed a curious eye roll as a University of Iowa sports information staffer announced that his 38-second pin against Liam Cronin of Nebraska on Jan. 19 was his 27th career first-period fall and the third-fastest of his career.

It is a simple, yet challenging plan for University of Iowa senior Tony Cassioppi:

Iowa kicks off its B1G schedule with a pair of weekend duals. The Hawkeyes face Illinois at home on Friday, January 6 at 7 p.m. CT then hit the road for a dual at Purdue on Sunday, January 8 at 1 p.m.

First-semester mat exams have concluded and second-ranked Iowa boasts a 7-0 record, despite fielding seven different dual lineups that featured 20 different Hawkeyes.
