"Allegations of Misconduct in Iowa Sports Gambling Investigation"

A new filing in the NCAA sports wagering investigation alleges that a DCI agent was misled about the target of the investigation, claiming that he was initially briefed that the focus was on online gaming operators, not student-athletes. The agent, Mark Ludwick, stated that he reassured an Iowa State football player that he was not a target, only to later learn that the investigation was indeed criminal in nature and targeted Iowa and Iowa State athletes. As a result, Ludwick requested reassignment and withdrew from the investigation, with potential wide implications for the case.

The defense attorney's motion seeks records about possible misconduct by the investigators, while also accusing the DCI of illegal searches and prompting criticism from the state's then-top gambling regulator.
