In the FBI notes on the point shaving scandal, it was stated that players from lower division schools were targeted because players at the major programs made too much money in NIL to be tempted with accepting bribes.

Well, that doesn’t mesh with reality. NBA players have done this.

Which NBA players took bribes to be involved in point shaving while actively playing in the league?

There’s a reason not one single player from a major program was involved. The guys from the lower tier programs could be enticed with less money.

Many over the years. Last season a Major League pitcher was charged when he threw a pitch into the ground.
People are greedy. They want more in every profession. Sports and business.

That's not point shaving. You said NBA players have been involved in point shaving. Athletes are notorious gamblers (Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley). That's not the same as point shaving in games.
