Many US college players and others charged with fixing Chinese and NCAA basketball games. Cant imagine the Chinese will be happy and NBA has invested a lot in China.

In total, the government alleges that at least 39 players on 17 different Division I teams manipulated about 29 contests in 2024 and 2025 in places such as Moon Township, Pa., and Hattiesburg, Miss. The schools alleged to be involved feature a Big East stalwart (DePaul) and two programs that reached the NCAA tournament last March (Robert Morris and Alabama State). Four of the players charged appeared in games this week, including one who scored 21 points for Kennesaw State as recently as Wednesday night.

Taken together, the charges in Thursday’s indictment offered the latest reminder of how pervasive game-rigging has become in the era of legal sports gambling in America: No level of basketball is safe.
