Federal indictment targets college basketball point-shaving; SLU alum among those charged
U.S. prosecutors unsealed a sweeping indictment charging 25 people in a college basketball point-shaving scheme spanning 17 NCAA schools, with Saint Louis University named for a fixed game; former SLU player Bradley Ezewiro is among the defendants, accused of taking part in paying players to underperform and help a Duquesne game stay outside the first-half spread, as part of a scheme that involved tens of thousands in bribes and large wagers.
