Allegedly there is a federal investigation into players point shaving from:

McNeese St.
University of New Orleans
DePaul
Southern Miss
Buffalo


Players from Temple, Eastern Michigan, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State involvement in the gambling ring have already been reported over the last few months.

Additional news and teams involved should be out soon.

Is Will Wade involved in another scandal? That won't make the people who want him back at LSU happy.

I skimmed the story for McNeese, but did not see anything. I don’t plan to read the full article because Pat Forde is a clown.

With that being said, gambling is pretty much the one thing college athletes can’t do. Anyone getting caught doing it is a total dumbass.

I’m honestly surprised Forde missed an opportunity to bring up Wade just for the sake of it

Honestly with how easy it is to gamble with just a few clicks on your phone I'm amazed more athletes don't get popped for gambling

Was wondering when this was going to come out. Knew about the UNO involvement 4 weeks ago.

That’s not what this is. It’s a “bookie” or a “sharp” paying a player/players to fix the game so he wins a bet

quote:

In the six games Integrity Compliance 360 scrutinized, Temple trailed at halftime in five, by an average margin of 11.2 points. (The Rice game was the exception.) Sportsbooks routinely offer first-half betting lines for games, which could appeal to point-shavers for obvious reasons: Players can rig a bet in the first half and still go all out to win the game in the second. Temple won two of the games and lost four. A school spokesman did not respond to a request from SI this week for comment.

One player caught up in the Temple probe is Hysier Miller, the team’s leading scorer last season at 15.9 points per game. In that Alabama-Birmingham game, Miller scored eight points on 3-of-9 shooting with three turnovers.

After last season, Miller transferred to Virginia Tech but never played there. He was dismissed from the team in October 2024 for what the university described as “circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.”
