During this season, bets against Mississippi Valley State, Eastern Michigan, and North Carolina A&T were marked as suspicious, presumably by the illegal gambling ring. It has been reported that some of the same accounts that wagered on NBA players' poor play also wagered against the three college basketball teams mentioned above.
The possibility of an ongoing investigation was neither confirmed nor denied in a statement issued by the National Collegiate Athletics Association. The Association reiterated its position on sports betting, stating that it is committed to safeguarding the welfare of its student-athletes and maintaining the integrity of its competitions.
