Iowa wrestling coach Tom Brands is telling his Hawkeye wrestlers suspended due to a gambling investigation to be ready. Brands made his comments following court filings alleging misconduct against DCI agents in an investigation that shelved a number of Iowa starters.

Back in November Brands wondered why more questions were not directed toward the initiators of the probe and why athletes at Iowa and Iowa State were singled out.

Brands would not elaborate on what he means by “be ready” and if there are still options for the suspended wrestlers to compete.
