College basketball front and center, not in a good way yesterday.

17 former college basketball players listed as defendants in an indictment.

15 of the players participated in the 2020--24 or 20, 24, 25 seasons,

and a few have actually played this season.

And you start to look at the numbers being thrown around of the amount of money bet on some of these games.

Betting amounts $458,000 for North Carolina A&T to lose against Towson.

424,000 on Ken State to cover the first half spread against Buffalo.

$275,000 for Southern Miss to not cover a first-half spread against South Alabama.

$256,000 for Robert Morris to flop in the first half of a game against Northern Kentucky.

Now, there's a couple things to think about here.

These are smaller schools.

You're going to get NIL, but not as much as you think. A lot of

these schools still, they do pay NIL, but also, you're going to do this with a first half cover.

It's easier to pull something off like this of not playing well in the first half, and then

you play hard in the second half. You've already covered the bet.

You're going to get paid.

But the fact that you had this amount of money, I'm surprised that these games weren't flagged.

Our good buddy, Matt Norlander, CBS Sports has been covering this.

These are big numbers, Matt.
