I clicked the ESPN link and the first thing I saw was the name "Oumar."

I am not surprised by anything anymore these days.

This has nothing to do with the NCAA or NCAA rules.

The NCAA forbids wagering by players, but there’s no reasonable way to monitor whether a player has a DraftKings account.

Sure it does remember when the scandal happened before NIL when sean miller and other coaches were caught paying players. Dick Vitale and others said it would be the end of college basketball as we know it. Instead nothing happened and now the NCAA is the NBA 2.0.
PBS/NPR 'expert' said - there needs to be regulation on gambling.
That was her solution.
Pretty sure it is illegal to fix games.
Gambling already has tons of busybody regulations that usually just make hoops to jump through without any benefit.
And of course being PBS/NPR it's always somebody else's fault, the reason here was jealousy that some players make big money playing and others don't. And that college kids need money.
Maybe they are just unethical people who don't give a crap about committing offenses against others? Both the mob/gamblers in these cases and the kids.
Has almost certainly been happening forever, but probably more now thanks to the explosion of semi-anonymous online gambling.

What does that have to do with point shaving?

Well, it has been reported that the people running the schemes specifically targeted players they knew weren't making any NIL, therefore, more likely to be jealous of their teammates that were and more likely to be convinced to point shave.

Sounds a little strange. A player not making any NIL probably isn't playing much, how is he going to point shave?

Yeah, I'd like to see some footage of this in action. Hard to imagine a bench-warmer coming in and doing much damage in a game (and being left in long enough to do much).

What I heard was that these were players from second tier teams/conferences. "Biggest" name I heard mentioned was DePaul. Just going by what I heard on the radio.

correct Mark, I saw a list of colleges and they were all very small schools. I don’t recall seeing any schools from a major conference. Note: the list I saw didn’t have DePaul, but I did see them mentioned in a different article (the Blue Demons were by far the biggest name, IIRC).
