Major news dropped on Thursday when a federal indictment was unsealed on Thursday in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The document revealed a college basketball point-shaving scheme that involved over 39 college basketball players on 17 teams. The scheme led to dozens of games over the course of the last two seasons being fixed with the gambling ring being run by a former NBA player.

In the official story on ESPN, it says that four of the players named have played over the last week.
While a gambling ring that involves fixing college basketball games is no laughing matter, there was this post on Twitter yesterday that came across pretty funny regarding Louisville in the Kenny Payne era.
And this anecdote is pretty wild itself.
There are numerous charges that involve dozens. It will almost certainly be mind-blowing to see what else is revealed.
No one connected to the University of Kentucky basketball program was mentioned.
