A fixer has pleaded guilty to bribery and wire fraud charges connected to a point-shaving scheme in NCAA basketball, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
The plea agreement was entered in federal court, though specific details about the individual, the schools or teams involved, and the scope of the scheme were not immediately disclosed. Point-shaving involves players deliberately limiting the margin of victory to influence betting outcomes.
The case marks the latest legal action targeting corruption in college sports. Federal prosecutors have pursued several point-shaving and bribery investigations involving NCAA programs in recent years.
Authorities have not announced sentencing details or whether additional defendants are expected to be charged in connection with the scheme.
