Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Prosecutors charged 20 men in an alleged point-shaving scheme that impacted more than 29 college basketball games, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday.
Tulane, Buffalo, DePaul, New Orleans and Eastern Michigan were among 17 schools named in the 70-page indictment from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. More than 39 college basketball players from those teams were allegedly involved, with many playing in 2023-24, 2024-25 or this season.
More than a dozen of the defendants played during the 2023-24 and/or 2024-25 college basketball seasons.
The defendants include Marves Fairley and Shane Hennen, who were among six charged by federal prosecutors in New York for running the sports gambling scheme in the NBA that also involved Terry Rozier.
