Bruce transferred to Oklahoma State this offseason.
Looks like his time in Stillwater will be brief

His career is over. That’s gonna hurt us, depth will take a hit behind BP in the slot. May see more Rashod Owens, Cabbi, or Cam Heard to supplement that loss

As good as I think legal online sports betting would be for the state of Oklahoma I’m kinda glad it’s not just so we don’t have huge investigations like ISU and Iowa.

I read one of the news stories that went through the charges and it sounds like a bunch of kids who were fooling around with draftkings which is akin to playing a video game in a lot of respects. I didn’t get the impression that they were shaving points or anything nefarious, could be wrong though. So I’m not sure why this should end their careers seeing as there aren’t any real victims, again could be wrong in my assessment.
Welp, he’s done.

Just wish this would’ve happened this spring where we maybe could’ve filled his scholarship before now.

What’s the issue if he always took the Over?
What about the Shettron boys? Don’t hear much about them.
Betting on your own team…is one thing.
Betting on a game in which you are playing…is another.
Betting on your team to lose, in a game you are playing in…is the worst of the worst.

NCAA will figure out a way to ban us from bowls, we’ll lose ten football scholarships and they’ll death penalty our basketball ball team, just because. The two Iowa schools get off scott free.

While I don’t subscribe to betting on a game you have influence over as it looks really bad even if what you are doing is not in anyway altering outcomes. From what I can tell from the indictment effecting outcomes was not taking place and really just looks like some underage kids placing small bets on a betting phone app.
@bruce4 One of the Iowa St players placed a bet on Texas to beat Iowa St……a game in which he played in.
I know he’s not at OSU. But he’s one of the guys in the scandal & my post was a statement about betting in general if you’re a player.
Isu are losing a starting qb and a real good wrestler
Them being under 21 is another problem.
But. Seriously if you bet for your team to win that should not be an issue.

Of all the stuff you’ve said…….this is the one that I have the biggest issue with. Betting on a game that you’re playing in, even if it’s a bet for your team to win, is a terrible idea. Pete Rose should never, ever be anywhere close to the HOF & guys that bet on the outcome of a game they’re playing in should be booted immediately.
