Show Notes
Jalen Smith, a key figure in a college basketball betting scandal, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and bribery charges. He admitted to rigging games by promising players big payouts to underperform. The scandal, which involved over thirty-nine players from seventeen Division one teams, threatens to shake up college hoops right before March Madness. Smith also pleaded guilty to a weapons charge after a stolen loaded gun was found in his room. The operation started in China before hitting NCAA, and more pleas could follow as the case unfolds.
