NCAA Issues 2-Year Show-Cause to Ex-Indiana Volleyball Assistant Over $327K in Bets

The ruling coincides with an NCAA policy change permitting participant wagers on professional sports, with college betting still prohibited.

Overview

  • The NCAA said Brett Agne placed more than 700 online wagers totaling $327,000 over five months, none involving Indiana volleyball.
  • Investigators found 27 of the bets were on Indiana football or men’s basketball, which are prohibited for staff.
  • Agne told the NCAA he used an unregulated algorithmic program that automatically placed bets and that he did not know which games were selected.
  • Penalties include a two-year show-cause order, a 10-regular-season contest suspension to be served in 2026 with no coaching activity, mandated sports-betting education, and a public reprimand.
  • Indiana dismissed Agne in 2023; he now coaches for Indy Ignite, which acknowledged the report without further comment, as a Nov. 22 rule change will allow participant betting on pro sports but not on college games.
