In an appearance at Big Ten Media Days, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz appealed to the NCAA to reevaluate what it considers fair punishments for gambling. Multiple players in his program remain under investigation barely a month before the season.
“I think our world (has) changed dramatically,” Ferentz said at Big Ten Media Days. “I think what the NFL has done with their rules makes a lot of sense. I’m hopeful this is an opportunity for the NCAA to reconsider two things: What punishments might be that are fair and relevant to the world we’re living in right now, and probably the bigger thing, there’s an opportunity right now for a lot better education process.”
