Iowa-Mizzou game is OFF at sportsbooks

never good

Yeah, not a good thing. The news release should be coming any minute.

It's more than just Hampton as a few of us have known. But I do not want to get banned so I won't say anything else.

That sucks. It was Missouri (-1) last night. I was one click away from making the bet, but wanted to wait until this morning to see if news broke before Vegas heard about it.

Guess I waited too long.

I'm taking my laptop down to the bomb shelter.

dun-dun-dun

never good

all that means is they are hearing the same rumors that we are - they believe somebody is likely leaving - just depends on who and how many

never good

Am I going to cry on a Monday?

 

[Iowatailgate]

I'm assuming a lot of money was placed on Missouri recently so they're probably looking into the reasoning.
None of these "rumors" have hit national media yet.

That made me laugh out loud, literally. But I think it was one of those nervous laugh things.

Jon, I would be curious how many hits you get on this site tonight. I would think it will be record breaking.

As bogged down as it is, I wouldn't be surprised if it is already breaking records. This is the train wreck of all train wrecks.

Hard to have a line when one team has to forfeit.

Sad.

 

[Hawkiam]

So where should I be looking to find this press release when it comes out?

 

[DuffMan]

Is there any precedent of a team accepting a bowl offer and pulling out at a later date?

I'm actually suprised it took Vegas so long to pull it.

 

[goods10]

How bad is this going to be for the Program moving forward if in fact this turns out being as bad as its being made out to be? I'm scared.

Thanks I needed that.

Thats a good Q.

Possible press conference at 5 maybe?? That would be a good idea.

The suspense is KILLING me!!

 

[silvanthalas]

The irony here is that Vegas pulling the game has essentially validated the rumors, even if they turn out to be entirely false.

 

[PDXHawkeye]

If a star player is questionable, they pull the game.... Just shows they don't know jack on what is going on either.....

I got Mizz at -1.... and they kept my bet after they pulled it. Pretty happy about hat...

They typically won't pull your bet unless there is a line error. Them not pulling the line due to possible suspensions doesn't qualify. Those of us that have Missou -1 should get a good middling opportunity when the line opens back up.

It's impossible to say. Personally I do not think that the contents of today's presser will ultimately determine the magnitude of the impact on the Program I think that will be determined by the outcome of the on going police investigation.
