Kansas football might have just gotten a break on its schedule

An alleged betting scandal surrounding a player in the Big 12 could bolster the chances of Kansas football reaching a consecutive bowl game.

In recent years, both the NCAA and NFL have cracked down on players betting on sporting events. With the accessibility that everyone has to online gambling platforms, professional leagues are taking extra precautions regarding the matter.

Unfortunately, these precautions didn’t penetrate the mind of Iowa State quarterback Hunter Dekkers. The redshirt junior from Hawarden has been accused of placing 26 bets on Cyclones matches, including a football game from 2021 when he was on the team.
