- Thread starter Nitwit
- Start date
Pat Mineo reported yesterday that Cassioppi, Brands, Assad, and Siebrecht have been suspended for the season and Kennedy and Schriever for part of the season. All have filed appeals.

Mineo isn't a reliable source, plus he is a Cyclone. Has this been confirmed by the University?
Following that report they sent out a press release saying they could not release names without the student-athlete's consent.
The University of Iowa and the UI Athletics Department have been working cooperatively with the NCAA Student-Athlete Reinstatement (SAR) staff to determine the eligibility of student-athletes who were involved in sports wagering. The institution has received the SAR determinations for the 11 individuals who are current student-athletes. Because this information is protected through the Family Education Right and Privacy Act (FERPA), specific information will only be released once we have received the student's consent.
NCAA guidelines set forth a process for an appeal of the SAR staff’s decision. The University will support student-athletes choosing to move forward with this process.
That really sucks if true about any of the Hawks, but especially about HWT Cass. What does Kueter do now? Does he wrestle as a True Freshman and a little undersized HWT and then have to redshirt his 2nd season? I think the optimal plan would have redshirt and get bigger and used to HWT and then have him next year so that he can become Iowa's first 4 time national champ.
