Lee is alleged to have bet against his own team in a game he played in 2021 against Texas. The Cyclones won, 30-7. Lee bet 26 times on 12 Iowa State football games, court records show. He is accused of making 115 bets for over $885.
Hanika allegedly placed 70 bets on Iowa State basketball, placing 288 wagers for $1,262.
Brock, Lee and Hanika now reportedly face permanent NCAA ineligibility.
Hemburg is accused of placing six wagers on college football and basketball, but none of those involved his own school. However, he could face a half season suspension for gambling on college football.

"Since becoming aware of potential NCAA eligibility issues related to sports wagering by several of our student-athletes back in May, Iowa State University has been actively working to address these issues with the involved student-athletes, and that process remains ongoing," Iowa State senior athletics director Nick Joos said in a statement Thursday.
"We will continue to support our student-athletes as our compliance staff works with the NCAA to sort out questions surrounding their future eligibility for athletics competition."
