Iowa State QB Hunter Dekkers, 4 others plead guilty to underage gambling charges, still face NCAA's wrath

Former Iowa State starting quarterback Hunter Dekkers and four other athletes from either ISU or Iowa have pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of underage gambling, according to ESPN.

Dekkers, ISU offensive lineman Jake Remsburg, former ISU player Dodge Sauser, former Iowa kicker Aaron Blom and former Iowa baseball player Gehrig Christensen all reportedly pleaded guilty after a state investigation into sports betting that has turned up more than 10 current and former student-athletes accused of making improper wagers.

The group initially faced an aggravated misdemeanor charge of tampering with records that carried a maximum penalty of two years in prison.
