1 week agoNCAA bans ex-Abilene Christian player over betting scheme
The NCAA says former Abilene Christian basketball player Airion Simmons broke the association's gambling rules after investigators determined he shared confidential team information with bettors and agreed to influence his play during a 2024 game against Tarleton State. The ruling, released Friday (May 15) by the Division I Committee on Infractions, centered on a March 20, 2024, matchup between Abilene Christian University and Tarleton State University. NCAA officials said Simmons accepted $3,500 after agreeing to "play[ing] bad" during the game as part of a betting scheme tied to outside gamblers.
