A federal investigation into a gambling ring involved in NBA betting cases has expanded to include unusual betting activity with at least three men’s college basketball programs – North Carolina A&T, Mississippi Valley State, and Eastern Michigan. The investigation initially focused on former Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter and has now expanded to involve longtime guard Terry Rozier.
In particular, games involving Eastern Michigan were flagged for suspicious activity, with sportsbooks noticing unusual betting patterns against the Eagles in two separate games. Similar trends were observed in a game involving North Carolina A&T and Delaware. Specific details about the allegations and individuals involved from the three programs remain unknown at this time.
The NCAA has emphasized its commitment to protecting the well-being of student-athletes and ensuring the integrity of competition. It works closely with monitoring services, regulators, and other stakeholders to investigate suspicious reports. Porter, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud last year, has been permanently banned from the NBA. Rozier, currently with the Miami Heat, is under investigation as part of the probe but the NBA found no violation in its own investigation.
The investigation also includes a potential point-shaving incident involving former Temple player Hysier Miller, who allegedly bet on games he played in last season. North Carolina A&T holds a 4-19 record, Mississippi Valley State is 3-19, and Eastern Michigan stands at 10-11, each facing their own challenges amid the ongoing investigation.
