Two KSU Basketball Players Accused in International Sports Betting Scheme

#wqeb973newz | Kennesaw,GA-🏀🚨 Serious allegations amid Georgia’s sports betting debate

Federal prosecutors say one current and one former men’s basketball player at Kennesaw State University are accused of taking part in an international sports betting scheme that allegedly involved manipulating college basketball games. The indictment claims players were paid thousands of dollars to affect first-half outcomes, with the operation tied to professional bettors and overseas connections.

The case comes as the Georgia General Assembly considers whether to legalize sports betting statewide. Critics say the allegations highlight risks to the integrity of college sports, while experts warn that growing financial pressures on athletes can make them vulnerable to gambling-related schemes.

KSU says it is aware of the allegations and has suspended the current player indefinitely as the investigation continues.
