Iowa backup kicker Aaron Blom became the latest Hawkeye to be drawn into the state's college athlete betting scandal on Wednesday, with investigators alleging at least one bet on his own's team performance.

Blom is facing a charge of tampering with records, an aggravated misdemeanor, as part of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation’s inquiry, according to The Gazette's John Steppe. Former Iowa basketball player Ahron Ulis, who has since transferred to Nebraska, was also reportedly accused of making bets.

In the case of Blom, the criminal complaint alleges he made approximately 170 underage sports wagers, eight of which were on Iowa sporting events.
