Bobby Hurley will forever be a Duke basketball legend, having helped lead the Blue Devils to back-to-back national titles in 1991 and 1992. His coaching career at Arizona State, however, could be in question after reports of a gambling scandal surrounding many college basketball programs, including the Sun Devils.
While no student-athletes have been named, the NCAA announced on Thursday that an ongoing investigation is happening into the scandal.
From ESPN:
Players formerly associated with Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State are under investigation for gambling violations, according to the NCAA, which declined to name the athletes until the infractions process has concluded. None of the players are currently enrolled at the schools where the infractions occurred, according to the NCAA.
The violations include athletes betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for purposes of betting, knowingly manipulating scoring or game outcomes and/or refusing to participate in the enforcement staff’s investigation. The NCAA said additional sports betting cases are at varying stages.
The good news? It seems that Hurley had no involvement. The bad news is that it could cost the Arizona State program if a player is found guilty.
