Point Shaving NCAA MBB

[NewsCopy]

LSU Connection and How the Scheme Worked

Former LSU basketball player Antonio Blakeney was named in the indictment but not charged in this case. According to The Advocate, Blakeney was playing for the Jiangsu Dragons in the Chinese Basketball Association when he allegedly became involved in point-shaving. He has been charged elsewhere.

The indictment says two men, Marves Fairley and Shane Hennen, recruited Blakeney during the 2022-23 CBA season. They offered bribe payments to get him to underperform and influence game outcomes. Blakeney allegedly agreed and recruited other players on his Chinese team to participate.

Of course they won't bring up TSAB. ESPN's darling.

How can it exceed NIL opportunities, since there is no limit

Exceed opportunities for that specific player.

A Duke player making millions in NIL would never jeopardize that with a $20k payoff. But a Southland Conference player making little to nothing is much more likely to take that deal.
