CHICAGO — The landscape of college sports is different now from what it was at this point last year. In May, the Supreme Court pushed aside a law from 1992 that prevented most states from legaliz- ing sports gambling. Now, regulating betting is in the hands of the states. There are now three states with legal sports gambling: New Jersey, Delaware, and longtime bettors’ haven Nevada. In addition, New York, Pennsylvania, Missis- sippi, West Virginia, and Rhode Island have re- cently passed bills. Fourteen other states, including Iowa, have in- troduced a bill without its passing yet, according to ESPN. That raises a problem for the NCAA and the Big Ten. With the legalization of sports gambling, both organizations will need to share with players what the laws really mean and how it affects them. “First thing I would say is I think we’ve got great students playing football,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. “Trust them. They’re young. We need to continue to educate them about the chal- lenges associated with gambling and the impor- tance of the integrity of the game.” Gambling could create problems for coaches around the country, and Northwestern’s Pat Fitz- gerald took a similar stance as the conference’s Nick Rohlman/The Daily Iowan commissioner. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany addresses the media at Big Ten Football media days in Chicago on July 23. “I think it’s, first and foremost, important that we educate our guys and the understanding of the issues that surround gambling and understand in which players are reported as active, probable, ing to be able to play and not play.” and foremost, and protect our program.” from a standpoint of what may end up happening doubtful, and out, but in the college sphere, there But for there to be an injury report, every coach But nothing is confirmed yet.

The en’sm basketball team hopes Garza will continue to do numbers this season when the Hawkeyes take the court.

Last season, Jordan Bo- hannon and Tyler Cook drummed up most of the noise for Hawkeye basket- ball. Bohannon was (and is still) Iowa’s sharp-shoot- ing point guard, possess- ing the ability to knock down shots from all over the floor, while Cook proved that once again, he’s Iowa’s most athletic player, anchoring the de- fense and muscling oppo- nents on offense. When Hawkeye fans think of Iowa basketball, they think of those two players, but Luka Garza’s name should be in the mix as well. Garza was Iowa’s best freshman last season. He played in all 33 games, started 26, and tallied 715 minutes — only Bohan- non, Cook, and Isaiah Moss had more playing time last season — and he earned his time for a rea- David Harmantas/The Daily Iowan son.
