Top Trending: 13 Former NCAA Basketball Players Under Gambling Probe

We are learning that a total of 13 former college basketball players are under investigation for allegedly violating the NCAA gambling policy. Scroll down for all the latest gambling headlines from around the globe and the top trending gambling articles at Gambling911.com.

Cases include athletes formerly associated with Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley. The schools are not under investigation and are not at risk of being penalized.

The violations include student-athletes betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for purposes of sports betting, manipulating scoring or outcomes and/or refusing to participate in the investigation.

“EMU remains committed to compliance with NCAA rules and preserving the integrity of competition,” Eastern Michigan athletic director Scott Wetherbee said in a statement to The Detroit News. “The University cooperated fully with the NCAA staff and appreciates the NCAA’s recognition that it is not at risk for violations or penalties. We look forward to concluding the matter.”

"We respect the NCAA’s process and have no further comment at this time,” Mississippi Valley State said in a release from the school to the Clarion-Ledger.

On Wednesday, the NCAA announced three men's basketball players had been banned for betting on their own games and “manipulating” performances to alter outcomes. Two players were from Fresno State and the other from San Jose State, though they had all at one point been together at Fresno State.
