This is the BMW thread. Land of the free, home of the brave where negativity is the rule and The Lunatics rage.

This thread is for those that want to Bitch/Moan/Whine (BMW) for the first bye week of the year.
I don't want to let the discontent of the Lunatic Fringe to settle into other threads of neutrality and possible positivity.
@AuTX Buckeye is pulling from a deep well of cynicism and lunacy. He and @Honor&Glory lead the charge.

NCAA Men's Basketball Gambling Schemes

Reports: New Orleans hoops suspensions over gambling inquiry

Feb 26, 2025
Four New Orleans men's basketball players who have been suspended since late January are under investigation for possible NCAA violations related to sports gambling, according to multiple reports.

The university's only public statement about the matter has described the reasons for the suspensions as an unspecified violation of team rules.

James White, Jah Short, Dae Dae Hunter and Jamond Vincent have not played since the Privateers' loss to Incarnate Word on Jan. 27.

The reasons for their suspensions were first reported in a social media post by college basketball analyst Jeff Goodman.

New Orleans (4-25, 2-16 Southland), has lost all eight games it has played since the suspensions and is scheduled to play next at UT Rio Grande Valley on Saturday.

Multiple gambling industry sources told ESPN's David Purdum that a betting ring under federal investigation also placed bets on at least two New Orleans men's basketball games this season. The Dec. 28 game at McNeese State and the Jan. 11 game against Southeastern Louisiana attracted bets from the sportsbook accounts associated with the betting ring, according to the sources. The point spread moved significantly against the Privateers in three other games this season.

ESPN previously reported that the ring also placed bets on games involving Temple, North Carolina A&T, Eastern Michigan and Mississippi Valley State. The bettors also have ties to two NBA betting cases, including one that led to former Toronto Raptor Jontay Porter being banned from the league.

The revelations at New Orleans come days after Fresno State suspended two of its top men's basketball scorers on Saturday and removed a third player from the team amid reports that the program is the subject of gambling investigations.

There is no known connection between the Fresno State betting investigation and the wider federal probe that has ensnared New Orleans and other college basketball teams, multiple sources familiar with each matter told ESPN.

Fresno State said in a statement that Jalen Weaver and Zaon Collins "are being withheld from competition as the university reviews an eligibility matter," and provided no further comment. Mykell Robinson, who has not played since Jan. 11, is no longer on the team, sources tell ESPN.

NCAA shares update on its sports betting probe that includes former UNO basketball players

Sep 11, 2025
The NCAA announced Thursday that it is in "in the process of alleging violations" of illegal sports betting against men's basketball players who were members of the University of New Orleans team during the 2024-25 season.

UNO was one of six Division I programs mentioned in the NCAA's Thursday update, which stated that the NCAA wasn't seeking penalties against any of the schools but was further investigating "violations of sports betting rules" by 13 former student-athletes across the six schools. The other five programs were Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State.

"While the facts and alleged behaviors in each case vary, they include student-athletes betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for the purposes of sports betting, knowingly manipulating scoring or game outcomes and/or refusing to participate in the enforcement staff's investigation," the NCAA said in a statement.

UNO released a statement addressing the NCAA's update.

"As noted by the NCAA, there are no allegations that university personnel had any involvement in or knowledge of the violations," the statement said. "The NCAA has confirmed that no institutional penalties are being sought against UNO."

UNO suspended four men's basketball players this past season after a game on Jan. 27, and it was announced on Feb. 26 that the four players had been held out due to "a violation of team rules," according to UNO athletic director Vince Granito.

The four players suspended by UNO were James White, Dae Dae Hunter, Jah Short and Turk Vincent. All four were starters on UNO's men's basketball team at the time of their suspensions and are no longer on the team's roster.

The NCAA shared some insight Thursday on how it substantiated the allegations against the 13 athletes targeted by the investigation.

"Through the NCAA's extensive integrity monitoring program and network of sources, the enforcement staff became aware of unusual betting activities around regular-season games played by these teams," the NCAA statement said. "The enforcement staff followed up on those reports and substantiated — in some cases, via text messages, direct messages on social media platforms and other material evidence — that violations had occurred."

Similar cases involving men's basketball players tied to sports betting were resolved recently and resulted in players from Fresno State and San Jose State losing their NCAA eligibility.

NCAA: 13 players from 6 schools involved in gambling schemes

Sep 11, 2025
Thirteen men's college basketball players from six schools were involved in gambling schemes, including betting against their own team, game manipulation and sharing information with third parties for gambling purposes, the NCAA announced Thursday.

Players formerly associated with Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State are under investigation for gambling violations, according to the NCAA, which declined to name the athletes until the infractions process has concluded. None of the players are currently enrolled at the schools where the infractions occurred, according to the NCAA.

The violations include athletes betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for purposes of betting, knowingly manipulating scoring or game outcomes and/or refusing to participate in the enforcement staff's investigation. The NCAA said additional sports betting cases are at varying stages.

The NCAA said some third parties are involved in multiple cases and that they were aware of how some players were compromised in the schemes, but declined to give specifics.

"The rise of sports betting is creating more opportunity for athletes across sports to engage in this unacceptable behavior, and while legalized sports betting is here to stay, regulators and gaming companies can do more to reduce these integrity risks by eliminating prop bets and giving sports leagues a seat at the table when setting policies," NCAA president Charlie Baker said in a release.

Schools and respective staffs in the ongoing cases are not alleged to have been involved in the violations, and the enforcement staff is not seeking penalties for the institutions, the NCAA said in its release.

ESPN previously reported that betting accounts associated with a gambling ring under federal investigation placed wagers deemed suspicious by bookmakers against Temple, Eastern Michigan, North Carolina A&T, Mississippi Valley State and New Orleans over the past two seasons.

Just sayin': The NCAA is looking into more players involved in a "gambling scheme".
