The NCAA<\/a> said that protecting the “integrity” of its athletics is “of the utmost importance” for the organization after at least 26 people were charged Thursday in connection with fixed college basketball games, and urged states to “ban risky bets.”<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the alleged participants bribed Chinese Basketball Association players in 2022 “to underperform and help ensure their team failed to cover the spread in certain games and then, through various sports books<\/u><\/a>, arranged for large wagers to be placed on those games against that team.”<\/p>\n

The following year, the participants allegedly expanded their scheme to the NCAA, recruiting players and paying bribes between $10,000 and $30,000 per game.<\/p>\n

According to the indictment, more than 39 players on 17 different teams attempted to fix more than 29 NCAA Division I men\u2019s basketball games<\/a>, including conference tournament contests. The organizers of the alleged scheme placed wagers totaling millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

“Protecting competition integrity is of the utmost importance for the NCAA. We are thankful for law enforcement agencies working to detect and combat integrity issues and match manipulation in college sports,” NCAA President Charlie Baker said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Baker said the indictments were “not entirely new information to the NCAA,” as it had conducted “integrity investigations into approximately 40 student-athletes from 20 schools over the past year.”<\/p>\n

The NCAA added that 11 athletes from seven schools were “recently found to have bet on their own performances, shared information with known bettors, and\/or engaged in game manipulation to collect on bets they \u2014 or others \u2014 placed” and have since been permanently banned.<\/p>\n

“Additionally, 13\u00a0student-athletes\u00a0from\u00a0eight\u00a0schools\u00a0(including some of those\u00a0identified\u00a0above)\u00a0were found to have failed to cooperate in the sports betting integrity investigation by providing false or misleading information,\u00a0failing to provide\u00a0relevant\u00a0documentation\u00a0and\/or refusing\u00a0to\u00a0be\u00a0interviewed by\u00a0the enforcement staff.\u00a0None of them\u00a0are competing\u00a0today,” Baker added.<\/p>\n

Baker also called on states to crack down on “threats to integrity,” specifically prop bets, “to better protect athletes and leagues from integrity risks and predatory bettors.\u00a0We\u00a0also will\u00a0continue to cooperate\u00a0fully\u00a0with law enforcement.\u00a0We\u00a0urge all\u00a0student-athletes\u00a0to make well-informed choices to avoid jeopardizing the game and their eligibility.”<\/p>\n

The chargers on Thursday included bribery in sporting contests, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and wire fraud.<\/p>\n

“[Defendants] aided and abetted the carrying into effect, the attempt to carry into effect, and the conspiracy to carry into effect, a scheme in commerce to influence by bribery sporting contests, that is, Chinese Basketball Association (“CBA”) men’s basketball games and National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) men’s basketball games, with the defendants engaging in different aspects of this scheme, with knowledge that the purpose of this scheme was to influence in some way those contests by bribery,” the indictment said.<\/p>\n

The announcement follows the federal government\u2019s crackdown on illicit sports gambling and point-shaving schemes that involved the NBA in October.<\/p>\n
