Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz says “not a large number” of Hawkeye players are involved in a gambling investigation. The school announced in May more than two dozen athletes are being investigated for on-line wagering and defensive tackle Noah Shannon backed out of an appearance at Big Ten Media Days citing his involvement.

Ferentz says he is not sure what the outcome of the investigation will be.

Ferentz says gambling is not going aways and he hopes the NCAA will adjust its penalties and educatonal process.

Ferentz made his comments at Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis.
