A federal investigation into alleged point shaving and game fixing in college basketball is nearing its end, Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde and Michael Rosenberg reported. The inquiry is focused on “Southern Schools,” according to SI.
Investigators from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania conducted interviews with players suspected of influencing their performances as gamblers wagered on games. SI cited a source who said, “There are going to be charges.” The same source said multiple players and programs will be involved as part of a “national scope.”
The investigation centered on a ring that was involved with Jontay Porter, the former NBA player who was banned for life for gambling in 2024, according to SI. Additionally, the office is looking into unusual wagering activity on Malik Beasley’s games during the 2023-24 season. Beasley has not been charged with any crime.
