WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials have approved a final set of rules for the state’s new law allowing sports betting, which is set to go live at noon on Aug. 15. The Des Moines Register reports that Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission on Tuesday approved the new rules to legally bet on professional, collegiate and international sporting events. The new law also legalizes fantasy sports contests and internet fantasy sports betting, but delays betting based on college sporting event statistics until next May.

The new law excludes betting on some events, like in-state college team players. While it allows betting on-site or through a mobile app, players must first travel to a casino to prove their age and identity and set up an account with that casino. Mobile apps also will only be operable within state borders. So, for example, residents in Omaha, Nebraska, would have to cross state lines each time they wished to place a bet on their phones.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes spent this past offseason riding horses on the beach, popping up at the Final Four and Stanley Cup Final, hob-knobbing with celebrities and being feted by late night talk show hosts. Indeed, much has changed for the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback since he showed up at Missouri Western State University a year ago.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cavan Biggio hit the go-ahead homer in the eighth inning, Randal Grichuk and Teoscar Hernandez also went deep, and the Blue Jays beat the Royals 7-3. Top prospect Bo Bichette singled in the first at-bat of his big league career for the Blue Jays, and Tim Mayza earned the win in relief of Thomas Pannone. Brad Keller gave up three homers in taking the loss for Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Johnny Robinson, the former LSU standout-turned-star safety during the years of the AFL-NFL merger, finally is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Robinson was passed over six times during the 1980s, but now will get to slip on that famous gold jacket as a senior committee nominee. He is the ninth member of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl 4 championship team to be inducted in Canton, joining Len Dawson and others.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Max Falkenstien, the affable and silver-tongued “Voice of the Jayhawks” who brought Kansas football and basketball into the homes of fans for six decades, died Monday. He was 95. The school announced his death in a statement. No cause was given. Falkenstien broadcast his first game in 1946 and was a staple for the Jayhawks until his retirement in 2006.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Keith Reaser hurt his Achilles tendon during practice and could miss the season. Reaser emerged as one of the stars of the brief Alliance of American Football and was likely to make the Chiefs’ roster. In other injury news from the team’s first padded practice, right tackle Mitchell Schwartz left early when his back locked up and wide receiver Gehrig Dieter departed practice with back spasms.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Akira Levy has joined the Vanderbilt women’s basketball team as a transfer from Missouri in a return to her home state. The 5-foot-8 guard tore a ligament in her right knee in February. Vanderbilt coach Stephanie White says Levy will spend this season getting healthy. She started four games for Missouri last season. She originally chose Missouri over Vanderbilt and Ohio State.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded left-hander Zac Rosscup to the St. Louis Cardinals for cash. Rosscup is headed to his fourth team this season after the Dodgers designated him for assignment two weeks ago. Rosscup is 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA in 28 appearances this season.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Keith Reaser, who emerged as one of the stars of the brief Alliance of American Football, hurt his Achilles tendon during practice Monday and could miss the season.

Reaser was fourth on the depth chart behind Kendall Fuller, Bashaud Breeland and Charvarius Ward, but the cousin of late Redskins defensive back Sean Taylor was likely to make the team.

In other injury news from the Chiefs’ first padded practice, right tackle Mitchell Schwartz left early when his back locked up and wide receiver Gehrig Dieter departed practice with back spasms.

Running back Damien Williams and safety Jordan Lucas remained sidelined by hamstring injuries, while Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Breeland could return soon after having stitches for a lacerated thumb.

The Chiefs practice again Tuesday and Wednesday before getting their first day off Thursday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded left-hander Zac Rosscup to the St. Louis Cardinals for cash. The Dodgers also put Enrique Hernández on the injured list with a sprained left hand Monday. Rosscup is headed to his fourth team this season.

Rosscup finished last season with Los Angeles, but was designated for assignment in November. He signed with Seattle, but was designated for assignment May 17.
Toronto claimed Rosscup off waivers, but designated him for assignment May 28 after two appearances. He re-signed with the Dodgers last month and made seven appearances, but was designated for assignment two weeks ago.

Rosscup is 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA in 28 combined appearances this season. He likely will join the Cardinals’ Triple-A affiliate in Memphis. St. Louis optioned outfielder Harrison Bader to Memphis. Bader is batting .195 in 90 games this season and had started just six games since the All-Star break.
