The NCAA revoked the eligibility of six men’s basketball players from New Orleans, Mississippi Valley and Arizona State after an investigation found some manipulated performances or shared information to aid sports bets during the 2024-25 season. Evidence included a tip about New Orleans' Dec. 28 loss to McNeese State, suspicious betting on Mississippi Valley’s Jan. 6 game, and texts showing Arizona State’s BJ Freeman provided details for daily fantasy wagers. The rulings arrive amid broader probes into gambling across college sports and a delayed NCAA move to allow betting on professional sports by athletes and staff.
