Shannon, a starting defensive tackle on the Hawkeyes' defense coming out of the spring, previously admitted to wagering on an event involving a Hawkeyes team in another sport but hasn't been charged in the Iowa state investigation into illegal betting by athletes at both Iowa and"I want to apologize to the fans and everyone who supports Iowa Football. I made a mistake and I have taken responsibility for it.
"I want to say thank you to my family, Coach Ferentz, the coaching staff, and all of my teammates and friends for their unwavering support. I am going to make sure that this mistake does not define me or my career going forward."Iowa, coming off a victory at Iowa State last Saturday, which was Ferentz's 200th career victory and 188th at Iowa, is ranked for the first time this season at No. 25 in the AP Top 25 and hosts Western Michigan on Saturday.
