The NCAA announced Thursday it\u2019s investigating sports betting violations against 13 college basketball players.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investigation involves players from Arizona State, Eastern Michigan, Mississippi Valley, New Orleans, North Carolina AT&T and Temple, although individuals\u2019 names weren\u2019t released.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The players allegedly bet on or against their own team, shared information with others for sports betting purposes, manipulated scores or game outcomes and\/or refused to participate in the probe, per a press release from the NCAA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All 13 players are no longer enrolled at their respective schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Neither the schools nor the staff are expected to be involved in the betting violations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NCAA monitors over 22,000 contests every year and will continue to aggressively pursue competition integrity risks such as these,\u201d NCAA president Charlie Baker said. \u201cI am grateful for the NCAA enforcement team\u2019s relentless work and for the schools\u2019 cooperation in these matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rise of sports betting is creating more opportunity for athletes across sports to engage in this unacceptable behavior, and while legalized sports betting is here to stay, regulators and gaming companies can do more to reduce these integrity risks by eliminating prop bets and giving sports leagues a seat at the table when setting policies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
