Federal prosecutors are charging 20 people, including 15 former college basketball players, in what they call a scheme to fix NCAA and Chinese Basketball Association games. Of the defendants named in Thursday’s indictment, 15 played basketball for Division 1 NCAA schools as recently as the 2024-25 season. The other five defendants were described by authorities as fixers. The charges, filed in federal court in Philadelphia, include wire fraud. In the 70-page indictment, authorities say the fixers recruited the college basketball players with “bribe payments” usually ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 per game. The indictment follows NCAA investigations that led to at least 10 players receiving lifetime bans.
