Iowa State football coach, Matt Campbell, held his annual media day in Ames just a couple of days after it was revealed his starting quarterback from last year, Hunter Dekkers, is part of a sports gambling investigation. Campbell addressed the issue early, saying he can’t comment because it’s an ongoing N-C-A-A and legal investigation.

Campbell said the gambling issue is a “society issue.”

Campbell said it’s not right to give up on a young person when they make a mistake.

Campbell explains why only himself and a few players were made available on media day.

Campbell on what he needs from the quarterbacks battling to start in place of the suspended Hunter Dekkers.
