Based on the Related Press, the 5 staffers — Jace Heacock, Chase Clark, Michael Dryer, Kyle Highland and Mason Williams — acknowledged knowingly violating the NCAA sports activities wagering bylaws and can face a one-year show-cause order that runs by way of April 24, 2026. If any of the 5 are employed by one other school athletic division throughout that point, they’ll serve a two-week suspension and be required to attend an annual NCAA Regional Guidelines Seminar. 

Mixed, the 5 males wagered over $100,000 throughout 6,200 bets (simply over $16 per wager) over that three-year interval, which included putting bets on Iowa State’s males’s and girls’s basketball crew. The bets had been uncovered as a part of a statewide investigation that caught plenty of athletes at each Iowa and Iowa State collaborating in sports activities betting, a few of whom had been charged with underage playing and identification theft. 

Heacock is the son of Iowa State defensive coordinator Jon Heacock and served as a graduate assistant with the soccer crew in 2021 and 2022. Highland is now the assistant director for soccer operations at Military, Clark works as an gear supervisor with the Detroit Lions, Williams is an gear supervisor at Valparaiso and Dryer not works within the collegiate or skilled sports activities house.
