An NCAA probe found that 13 men's college basketball players at six schools participated in gambling schemes.
The findings released Thursday cited players formerly associated with Arizona State, Eastern Michigan, Mississippi Valley State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Temple.
Alleged behaviors included players betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for purposes of sports betting, knowingly manipulating scoring or game outcomes, and/or refusing to participate in the enforcement staff's investigation, the NCAA said.
None of the players are still enrolled at the schools where the alleged infractions occurred. The NCAA declined to name the student-athletes until the infractions process has concluded.
'The NCAA monitors over 22,000 contests every year and will continue to aggressively pursue competition integrity risks such as these,' said Charlie Baker, NCAA president. 'I am grateful for the NCAA enforcement team's relentless work and for the schools' cooperation in these matters. The 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.'
Additional cases are in various stages of investigation, according to the NCAA.
Similar cases involving players from Fresno State and San Jose State were resolved on Wednesday, resulting in the permanent loss of eligibility for players Mykell Robinson, Steven Vasquez and Jalen Weaver.
