Iowa Public Radio: It appears a bill that would legalize and tax sports betting in Iowa may ban bets on games involving college and university teams from Iowa. Rep. Vicki Lensing, D-Iowa City, said there were concerns some athletes might be pressured to miss a free throw or drop a pass in order to secure certain outcome. “I’m not assuming that young athletes would be swayed, but we want to take away that temptation,” Lensing said. A House committee Wednesday endorsed the proposal to ban bets on the performance of athletes in games or matches involving Iowa college teams.
