Federal prosecutors charged 20 people in an alleged point-shaving scheme involving dozens of college basketball players, according to an indictment.<\/p>\n
According to the indictment, the players on more than 17 different NCAA Division I men’s basketball teams then “fixed and attempted to fix” over 29 games.<\/p>\n
Games involving the following teams were allegedly rigged or impacted, investigators say: Western Michigan University, Butler, St. Johns, Tulane, East Carolina, McNeese State, Nicholls State, St. Louis University, Duquesne, Lasalle, Fordham, SUNY Buffalo, Kent State, Ohio University, Georgetown and DePaul.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia will be holding a news conference on the case at 11 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n
