Overview
- The Philadelphia indictment alleges bribery and wire fraud conspiracy tied to manipulated NCAA Division I and Chinese league contests.
- Authorities say players were offered between $10,000 and $30,000 to underperform, with large wagers placed at venues including Rivers Casino in Philadelphia.
- Court filings cite nearly 30 affected games from 2022 to 2025 and detail efforts to recruit dozens of college athletes through intermediaries.
- Those charged include former Division I players along with trainers, a strength coach, a former coach and two sports-betting influencers.
- Charging documents name former NBA guard Antonio Blakeney in the China phase of the scheme, and the NCAA says it is assisting investigators after suspending six players in related probes.
