None of these teams are creme de creme of the NIL department. This has a lot to do with this. Also its not just the players coaches have to be involved given the level of play seen in these vids
Maybe stop betting on CBB?
These clearly aren't the brightest people. If Vegas put a betting line on Conn College vs. Wesleyan this crew would be rigging that game.
Good for you. Maybe more if you shuffled burgers at Wendy’s?
Looks like it was all DePaul. Kick them out of the conference and add Duke.Full List of Games Impacted in College Basketball Point-Shaving Scandal
Over two seasons, 29 games involving 17 teams were allegedly impacted by a game-fixing scheme in college basketball.www.si.com
My bet would definitely be on Conn College - all the Wesleyan kids were so weird.
Almost. Another reason I’m glad Etienne never committed. He’s one of the charged defendants.
Mac Etienne, that's a name from the past. Boy did he turn out to be a bust and a bad person. From the spitting to the point shaving, man am I glad he never came here.
That was fishy but with those stakes? I'm likely naive.The Marquette/NC State game in 2024 was one of the fishiest games I can remember. Marquette was a 6.5 point favorite and the over/under was 151.5. This was a really good Marquette team.
Joplin and Mitchell simultaneously had the worst game I think I ever saw either of them have. During the season, Joplin shot 50% from 2 and 35.5% from 3. Mitchell was 63.1% and 26.5%. In that game, Joplin was 2-10 overall, 0-7 from 3, 0-3 from the free throw line. Mitchell was 2-8, 0-4, 4-5. They were a combined 0-11 from 3.
The thing that really stuck out about the game was the passing. They didn't turn the ball over much, but none of their passes were clean. Cam Jones could be wide open on the perimeter, and the pass would be at his knees or 2 feet to his left. Not bad enough to result in a turnover, but it was hard to catch and shoot off a really bad pass. There were probably 10 of those, maybe more. If I was going to fix a game, and I didn't want it to show up in the box score, that is how I would do it. Just be a little off with my passes, and my teammates either wouldn't take their shots or would take a contested one after they gathered it.
I watched the game with a buddy of mine, and we both saw the same thing. And you could hide huge bets on a Sweet 16 game and no one would catch it.

You really think they were throwing a sweet 16 game? Come on, those guys want to be pros and they had a chance at a national championship. I watched the game and the team was awful but Joplin was only a 35.5% three point shooter and Mitchell 26.5%. Sometimes horrible nights just happen for players and teams.

True. There is no industry in the world, especially when billions of dollars are involved, where shady stuff doesnt continuously go down.
Worker bees always get blamed. BS that the power conferences are completely innocent
Paying a DePaul player to throw a game seems redundant.
Live Updates: 20 Charged in Connection to Sports Betting Scandal in College Basketball
Gamblers Shane Hennen and Marves Fairley and several former players are among those charged with sports bribery and wire fraud in relation to game fixing.
They recruited players at the following schools to fix point spreads for the first halves or entire games: Nicholls State, Tulane, Northwestern (La.) State, Saint Louis, La Salle, Fordham, Buffalo, DePaul, Robert Morris, Southern Mississippi, North Carolina A&T, Kennesaw State, Coppin State, New Orleans, Abilene Christian, Eastern Michigan and Alabama State.
It would be kind of like paying people in northeast Mass to avoid BC games. You're buying something that you could get for free.
They aren't talking about this years DePaul team. I saw them live vs UConn and they played extremely hard. Twice.
