Governor signs law legalizing sports betting in Iowa

News, Sports

May 13th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed a bill into law that establishes a legal way to bet on professional, collegiate and international sporting events. It also legalizes fantasy sports contests and internet fantasy sports betting but delays betting based on college sporting event statistics until May 2020.

The new law excludes betting on some events, including minor leagues and in-state college team players. Sports betting is limited to those 21 and older.

Reynolds, a Republican, has declined to suggest whether she supported the expansion of gambling in Iowa. She signed the bill on Monday. The law gives the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission regulatory authority over sports betting. The commission regulates the 19 state-licensed casinos in Iowa and its administrator, Brian Ohorilko, has said most of the state’s casinos are expected to set aside onsite space for betting.

The casinos also will contract with online and mobile application vendors to set up bets electronically. The commission has been developing rules that will determine how sports betting will work at the casinos, online and through a mobile application. Betting is expected to begin as early as this summer.

Cyclones sign transfer Javan Johnson

Sports

May 13th, 2019 by admin

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State has signed Troy University transfer Javan Johnson (JAY-ven Johnson), head coach Steve Prohm announced today. Johnson, a 6-7 forward, will sit out the 2019-20 season per NCAA transfer rules and have two seasons of eligibility remaining after redshirting.

Johnson made 42 starts in his 63 appearances for the Trojans, including starting all 30 games last season as a sophomore. The Decatur, Alabama native was third on the team averaging 10.4 points while also pulling down 4.2 rebounds per game. Johnson connected on a team-high 53 three-pointers at a 35.3 percent clip last season. He shot 43.8 percent behind the arc as a freshman, making 87 three-pointers over the course of his two seasons with the Trojans.

“Adding a player like Javan is really exciting for our program,” Prohm said. “He brings great length and has the versatility to score at all three levels on the court. Javan has a tremendous upside as a player and I am really looking forward to seeing the strides he can make in his development.”

Johnson scored in double figures 14 times last season, tallying a career-best 20 points three different times.

Also a capable defender, Johnson finished his sophomore campaign with 22 blocks and 15 steals.
