The University of Iowa and the UI Athletics Department have been working cooperatively with the NCAA Student-Athlete Reinstatement (SAR) staff to determine the eligibility of student-athletes who were involved in sports wagering. The institution has received the SAR determinations for the 11 individuals who are current student-athletes. Because this information is protected through the Family Education Right and Privacy Act (FERPA), specific information will only be released once we have received the student’s consent.
NCAA guidelines set forth a process for an appeal of the SAR staff’s decision. The University will support student-athletes choosing to move forward with this process.

The Iowa Association of Realtors report for July says the state housing market continued to see sales and inventory drop.
Home sales were down by nearly 21 percent in July compared to last July. That’s a drop of 677 homes sold for a total of three-thousand-11 in the month. The number of sales from June to July of this year mirrored the yearly trend, down 20 percent.
The report says higher interest rates and a lower inventory led to the decline. The number of homes on the market in July decreased by a little more than 12 percent compared to July of last year. Homes sat on the market for 33 days this July before a sale — compared to the 23 day average of July 2022.
This (Wednesday) is the first day of school in many Iowa districts and motorists are being warned to slow down and stay alert for darting kids and for school buses. Hamilton County Supervisor Rick Young of Jewell says there’s been a recent rash of bad behavior from behind the wheel.
Speeding on gravel roads can be very risky, especially if a school bus is making a stop over the next hill, or as you’re approaching a rural intersection that’s partly obscured by crops.
The Iowa legislature unanimously passed Kadyn’s (KAY-dinz) Law in 2012, targeting motorists who pass a stopped school bus with the stop arm extended. On the first offense, a conviction could bring a fine of up to 675 dollars, up to 30 days in jail, and a 30-day suspension of the driver’s license.
In Sioux City alone, police report issuing 32 citations last school year to motorists who passed a parked school bus with its stop sign extended.
