Federal investigators have revealed in a 70-page indictment listing the nearly 30 college basketball games that they say were illegally fixed by gamblers.
The indictment revealed on Thursday says that a gambling ring bribed 39 NCAA basketball players to play badly on purpose to help gamblers fix dozens of games between 2023 and 2025, ESPN reported.
The filing added that the gambling syndicate waged up to $3.6 million on the games. The two games that saw the most betting were the “$458,000 on Towson to cover the first-half spread against North Carolina A&T on Feb. 29, 2024, and $424,000 on Kent State to cover the first-half spread against Buffalo on Feb. 27, 2024. Both bets won,” ESPN added.
This week, 20 people were charged in the alleged point-shaving scheme, Marves Fairley, Shane Hennen, Terry Rozier, Dyquavion Short, Cedquavious Hunter, Jalen Smith, Roderick Winkler, Alberto Laureano, Arnaldo Arnold, Simeon Cottle, Kevin Cross, Bradley Ezewiro, Shawn Fulcher, Carlos Hart, Markeese Hastings, Oumar Koureissi, Da’Sean Nelson, Camian Snell, Airion Simmons, and Jalen Terry.
Despite all this, the NCAA has approved a rule change to allow players to gamble on professional sports.
