"Players formerly associated with Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State are under investigation for gambling violations, according to the NCAA, which declined to name the athletes until the infractions process has concluded. None of the players are currently enrolled at the schools where the infractions occurred, according to the NCAA."
"The violations include athletes betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for purposes of betting, knowingly manipulating scoring or game outcomes and/or refusing to participate in the enforcement staff's investigation."
""The rise of sports betting is creating more opportunity for athletes across sports to engage in this unacceptable behavior, and while legalized sports betting is here to stay, regulators and gaming companies can do more to reduce these integrity risks by eliminating prop bets and giving sports leagues a seat at the table when setting policies," NCAA President Charlie Baker said in a release."
Thirteen men's college basketball players from six schools — Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State — are involved in gambling-related investigations by the NCAA. The infractions include betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for betting, knowingly manipulating scoring or game outcomes, and refusing to participate in the enforcement staff's investigation. The NCAA declined to name the athletes until the infractions process concludes and stated none are currently enrolled at the implicated schools. Schools and staff are not alleged to have been involved and face no institutional penalties. NCAA President Charlie Baker urged policy changes to reduce integrity risks.
