You read these articles and hope no one on SHU is involved and then the Big East. DePaul player is implicated.

Gonna happen sooner or later - too much money involved.

This is what will upend the sport in my opinion.
And folks actually bet on Fordham? Crazy addiction is gambling.

It is just insane how easy they make it to bet. I learned my lesson gambling a long time ago. And i lost so much respect for podcasters/radio stations/tv stations etc that advertise for various betting sites.

Eli Fisher was on that team.

Please folks, always remember to document your planned felonies through electronic means.

Interesting that most of the schools are mid major so players probably receive meager NIL numbers. Doesn’t take much to make it worth their while.

Also games that will fly under the radar from a betting standpoint. You can see how these players might feel slighted that they’re not making the money of high D1 players so this is a way to get theirs.

Saw the Kennesaw State player a month and a half ago score 33 pts. against FGCU . Cottle probably good enough to play overseas but that is out the window.

This is a bit concerning. 3 of Fisher's teammates and a 4th unnamed DePaul player were charged for point-shaving in multiple Big East games. At best, he didn't know anything but played on a team with at least 4 players who were fixing outcomes. But he was their leading scorer so if I was a bettor/fixer, I'd want the leading scorer bought in.

In this particular example, the player not in on the scheme appears to be Chico Carter. He scored 23 points, and shot 6-8 from 3.
