I'm completely sure it was only athletes in Iowa who were gambling. So sure in fact, that I don't think any other state needs to investigate at all, nosireebob.

Why isn’t every other college team being investigated? This is obviously a widespread problem that isn’t isolated to the corn fields of Iowa.

I think the investigation is being driven by their state Department of Public Safety (i.e. state police). I'm 100% armchair theorizing here, but Iowa could hit a small sweet spot where there's enough "moral-panic" Boomer energy to investigate, but not quite enough worship of the football teams to nip it in the bud.

I'm curious to see if such a investigation could be possible in place like Texas or Alabama driven from state police.
