Every person and players allegedly involved in the NCAA point shaving scandal

Twenty-six people have been named and charged in a massive point-shaving scheme. The game fixing plans had impacted both the NCAA Division I men’s basketball and the Chinese Basketball Association games.

United States Attorney David Metcalf announced who the 26 individuals were on January 15. The names among them include up-and-coming athletes in the sport. Below you’ll find those allegedly involved in the scheme, as detailed by the Department of Justice. We’ve added notes to give a little more context as to who they would have been at the time or currently.
