The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is reportedly launching an investigation into the University of Iowa baseball team in regard to the suspension of multiple players ahead of the program’s recent series against Ohio State, according to Darren Rovell of the Action Network.
The school’s athletic department released a statement Friday, which read, “Due to a potential NCAA violation, we withheld some student-athletes from competition. We will have no additional comments as this is an ongoing investigation.”
Per Kyle Huesmann of On3, as many as four players were unavailable for Iowa’s series against the Buckeyes, including star infielder Keaton Anthony, pitcher Jacob Henderson, catcher Ben Tallman and redshirt freshman Gehrig Christensen.
