Five current or former Iowa State football coaching staff members have been punished by the NCAA for sports gambling that included bets on the school's men's and women's basketball programs. They face no criminal charges.

In total, the five coaches combined to make more than 6,200 online bets totaling more than $100,000 on games. Some of those bets came on professional events, some were on college sports. 

The violations have been classified as Level II, meaning they could compromise the integrity of the NCAA collegiate model.

The coaches are Jace Heacock, Chase Clark, Michael Dryer, Kyle Highland and Mason Williams.

Now, any of the five hired by another school’s athletic department will be required to attend the annual NCAA Regional Rules Seminar at his own expense and serve a two-week suspension during the show-cause period. They are all subject to a one-year show-cause order through April 24, 2026.

Heacock, son of defensive coordinator Jon Heacock, was a football graduate assistant in 2021 and 2022. He was hired back as director of football analytics on April 24. His biography on ISU’s athletic website did not mention where, or whether, he worked in 2023 and 2024. He was found to have placed 787 bets totaling about $55,359.

Clark, former assistant director of football equipment operations, placed 2,305 bets totaling about $18,676, including 46 bets on ISU men’s and women’s basketball. He is now an assistant equipment manager for the Detroit Lions.

Dryer, former assistant of equipment operations, placed 1,182 bets totaling about $11,536, including 25 bets on ISU men’s and women’s basketball. He now works in sales for a sporting goods company.

Highland, former football recruiting operations assistant, placed 509 bets totaling about $6,365, including eight bets on ISU men’s and women’s basketball. He is now the Army’s assistant director of football operations.

Williams, former associate for athletics equipment operations, placed 1,455 bets totaling about $11,679, including 12 bets on ISU men’s and women’s basketball. He is now head equipment manager at Valparaiso.

The five were identified during a state investigation into sports wagering activities in campus athletic facilities from 2021 to 2023.

The state Department of Criminal Investigation turned over the names of the five men to Iowa State officials as part of its investigation into underage online sports wagering at colleges in the state. Dozens of athletes at Iowa and Iowa State were caught in the sting and charged with, among other things, underage gambling and identity theft.

Many of the athletes pleaded guilty and paid a fine; charges were dismissed against others. More than three dozen athletes have joined in a civil lawsuit against the DCI, alleging the agency had violated their rights and smeared their reputations.

The Los Angeles Angels placed superstar outfielder Mike Trout on the 10-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his surgically repaired left knee on Thursday. 

Trout, 33, hurt the knee during the Angels' 9-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday when he tried to leg out an infield single to the second baseman. He was just barely out and took his position in right field the following half-inning, but he was removed from the game in the fourth inning prior to his next at-bat.

"He has a bone bruise so we’re going to put him on the IL," Angels manager Ron Washington told MLB.com. "It’s not significant. But he needs rest."

After he sustained the injury, Trout said he hoped to return to the lineup on Thursday and that the pain was just some scar tissue breaking that caused the soreness.

"When it happened, I knew it was, like, just a weird one," Trout said after the game. "But, now, after getting treatment and stuff, I should be a little better soon."

Trout transitioned from center field to right field before the season to help keep the three-time AL MVP healthy. He has played in all 29 of the Angels’ games to begin the year with 22 of those starts in right field. 

Last season, Trout played in 29 games before he tore his meniscus and missed the remainder of the season. 

Trout has played in more than 82 games only once in the past four seasons.

Trout has had an odd season this year. He has hit nine home runs, tied for second in MLB, but he has a batting average of just .179. 

Trout’s .179 batting average is far below his career batting average of .297. 

The Angels are last in AL West at 12-18, and will look to climb up the standings without their 11-time All-Star for the foreseeable future.
