Key Industry News

 

In a federal indictment unsealed Thursday in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 20 men have been charged as part of a point-shaving scheme involving more than 39 college basketball players on 17 NCAA Division I teams, resulting in more than 29 games being fixed, per ESPN’s David Purdum. Overall, 20 of the 26 defendants played college basketball during the 2023-24 and/or 2024-25 seasons, while some have played this season. Purdum: “The scheme … began around September 2022 and initially was focused on fixing games in the Chinese Basketball Association. The group later targeted college basketball games, offering bribes to college players ranging from $10K to $30K to compromise games for betting purposes, according to the indictment.” (link). Here are more details you need to know…

 

➤ ESPN’s Jeff Borzello notes four current men’s basketball student-athletes, Kennesaw State’s Simeon Cottle, Eastern Michigan’s Carlos Hart, Delaware State’s Camian Shell and Texas Southern’s Oumar Koureissi, were included. Borzello adds: “The allegations against Hart, Shell & Koureissi are from previous schools. Hart when he was at New Orleans; Shell when he was at North Carolina A&T; and Koureissi when he was at Nicholls State. The incident from the indictments involving Cottle was from Kennesaw's 23-24 season.” (link)

 

➤ In response to today’s federal point-shaving indictment, Kennesaw State and Eastern Michigan have reportedly suspended men’s basketball student-athletes Simeon Cottle and Carlos Hart from all team activities, respectively, per Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer. (link, link) 


➤ NCAA President Charlie Baker has dispatched a letter to state gambling commissions reiterating the Association’s 2023 request “that state laws and regulations be amended to create a stronger framework for protection of student-athlete well-being.” In addition to eliminating gambling on individual prop bets and other high-risk prop bets such as first-half unders, the critical changes requested “include stricter accountability for bettors found to have harassed student-athletes and/or influenced betting behaviors.” Baker: “The Association has and will continue to aggressively pursue sports betting violations in college athletics using a layered integrity monitoring program that covers over 22K contests, but we still need the remaining states and regulators to eliminate threats to integrity to better protect athletes and leagues from integrity risks and predatory bettors.” Factors cited as necessitating immediate restrictions on prop-bet wagers include: harassment; solicitation of insider information; and spot-fixing. Full letter. (link)



Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger provides several takeaways from NCAA President Charlie Baker’s comments at the NCAA Convention, including his thoughts on the AFCA recommending increasing the redshirt threshold from four games to nine. Dellenger notes Baker “seemed to suggest that any rule change will trigger schools/athletes to attempt to exceed any new eligibility standard.” More key takeaways…

 

➤ Baker: "We've got people in court with us that want six years, seven years, eight years. We really do. I'm not kidding. My view on this is, unless we get to the point where everybody agrees to play by the rules, this is important and useful, but it's not sufficient." 

 

➤ Baker adds: “The five years-to-play four, in 70% of cases it's been in court, have been successful. People start talking about 5-for-5, 6-for-6, 7-for-7, it doesn't matter if people aren't going to comply with the rules. 95% of the membership complies. The phone calls I get from coaches and ADs are pretty consistent: 'I don't like it when what judge ends up in front of and what state they're in determines whether somebody gets to play another year; that's not fair.' I have a hard time arguing with that. I'm thrilled the coaches are thinking about this, but at the end of the day, whatever we do with eligibility, everybody needs to sign off on." 


➤ Baker also announced the association increased revenues by $300M over the “past couple years,” a product mostly of increased TV contracts, and Dellenger notes: “Perhaps more interesting: Baker says the FBS transfer portal has seen 23% fewer entrants as last year. Baker attributes the decrease in FBS portal entrants to the ability for schools to communicate and directly compensate athletes during the retainment process, he says - something permitted as part of the NCAA's landmark House settlement agreement.”



College Sports Commission CEO Bryan Seeley touched on a number of topics at the NCAA Convention relating to the group’s work with schools on NIL deals. Some of the takeaways…

 

➤ Seeley addressed administrators to highlight where things stand with the CSC’s Participation Agreement, which would essentially bind schools to CSC rules, agree not to sue over those rules, etc. Per SBJ’s Ben Portnoy, Seeley, “noted the document became less stringent when it was marked up by schools and remains a work in progress,” but urged those in attendance to both sign and openly support it. Seeley: “I’m still hopeful that this document can get signed because it’s foundational to what we’re doing. … If there’s a time to stick out your neck, it’s now.” In response to a question about who’s actually paying the CSC group, Seeley noted “the group’s funding comes 50% from the P4, 25% from the NCAA and 25% billed to those schools that have opted in.” (link, link, link) 

 

➤ When asked if it's important not to be viewed as an adversary, Seeley remarked: “Our job is to be consistent and act in a way that people believe we act in good faith and that we are being fair. If at the end of an investigation someone tells me, 'I really disagree with your decision, but you were fair, and I agreed with the process that got here,' I'll take it. But I do not expect the CSC to be liked." (link)

 

➤ On when the CSC would issue a penalty, Seeley mentioned multiple schools are being questioned about unreported NIL deals and added: “That will come in due time, and I understand why the schools want to see that. ... Schools that want to comply with the rules and want to push back on third parties who don't care about the rules, they need something to point to." 


➤ Per Seeley, schools may be notified this week by the CSC around "issues we’re looking into in terms of unreported NIL deals,” but remains “skeptical that there are a lot of NIL deals not being reported to the CSC. Because he believes there is usually public evidence of an NIL deal, making it difficult to hide the deal’s existence.” (link, link, link)
