Six college basketball players lost eligibility for allegedly fixing games for bettors, part of a larger probe into gambling corruption.
The NCAA has stripped six men’s college basketball players—Cedquavious Hunter, Dyquavian Short, Jamond Vincent, Donovan Sanders, Alvin Stredic, and Chatton “BJ” Freeman—of their eligibility for allegedly manipulating games to benefit bettors during the 2024-25 season.
Investigations uncovered evidence of intentional underperformance, sharing insider information, and coordinating with third parties, primarily at New Orleans, Mississippi Valley State, and Arizona State.
The cases stem from suspicious betting patterns, text messages, and reports from teammates, with some players admitting to receiving money offers or discussing game-fixing.
The NCAA also banned three other players in September for betting on their own games.
The actions are part of broader efforts to combat gambling corruption amid rising legal sports betting and a federal investigation into an NBA-linked gambling ring.
The NCAA has delayed a rule allowing athletes to bet on professional games, now set for Nov. 22, but college games remain off-limits.
