Kansas tight end DeShawn Hanika is partnering with Integrity Compliance 360 to help educate fellow student-athletes about the potential pitfalls of sports betting, IC360 announced Tuesday.
Hanika, who transferred to Kansas after spending four years at Iowa State, missed the 2023 season due to NCAA sports betting violations while at Iowa State. While Hanika’s criminal charges were eventually dismissed, he was accused of placing 288 bets in violation of NCAA policies, including 70 on Iowa State basketball games. The NCAA prohibits athletes from wagering on all sports, and placing bets on one’s own university is also viewed in a harsher light by the governing body.
