"One suggestion for the NCAA is when you have interviews on the court for Duke, for the winning team, and they have time there - the game started before we even came in here - is to have the losing team go first."
Jalen Smith appeared in federal court in Philadelphia and pleaded guilty to wire fraud and bribery charges, becoming the first of 26 people charged in the scheme to formally do so. It came a week before the start of March Madness, in which bettors will wager billions legally - and illegally - on the 68 college basketball teams in the tournament.
The ruling came from the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions following a lengthy enforcement review triggered by irregular betting patterns linked to several Aggies games during the 2024-25 season. Because investigators were unable to obtain key records or interviews, the committee said it could not determine whether actual wagering violations occurred. Even so, the refusal to participate in the investigation itself was treated as a major rules violation.
Since 2006, Inside Higher Ed has used the NCAA's data on teams' academic performance to select its March Madness winners.

An investigation into a sprawling betting scheme to rig NCAA and Chinese Basketball Association games ensnared 26 people, including more than a dozen college basketball players who tried to fix games as recently as last season, federal prosecutors said Thursday. The scheme generally revolved around fixers recruiting players with the promise of a big payment in exchange for purposefully underperforming during a game, prosecutors said.
I'm gonna honor Christ like I always do. Blessed to do this, but this was embarrassing. These dudes do not deserve to wear this uniform. There will be very few of them in it next year. Like, I'm embarrassed for the university. I'm embarrassed, for our fans, our student section, you know. It is just ridiculous. We got practice at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, and we will get this thing right. I have no answer, no words Y'all got two questions.
He had accepted his fate a few months earlier when standardized test results led to the decision that he would not be eligible to participate in collegiate sports his freshman year. But nothing prepared him for this. People were looking at me, Rice says. They knew I was a football player and they knew why I wasn't playing. I'm sure they were thinking,
I assume that it's intended to provide ammunition to go after disfavored faculty and/or to instill such a chill on campus that nobody would dare to say anything provocative in the first place. Whether those motivations are locally held or are meant to keep the university below the radar of certain culture warriors, I don't know. The effects are the same either way, and they're devastating to the mission of a university.
