If it comes out that bet was placed on LSU, all hell is about to break loose

If he bet on himself, who cares. Pete rose 2.0 so maybe he’ll get a lifetime show cause, but if you want to bet on yourself I don’t see the problem

Unless it’s stupid prop bets like -3 bunt singles so you lay down bunts all game long sacrificing your chances of winning to hit the prop, but I doubt those bets exist for college baseball

Let’s be real… how awesome would the world be if all Bama coaches bet on the other team every game? This guy is an American hero.

How many words in the dictionary is “Alabama” a synonym for? I can think of at least twenty off the top of my head.

I don't believe a college kid is going to place a large enough wager to trigger suspicion. Just very unlikely.

No, but one of the players of coaches may be compromised with the mob. If so, which has apparently been "common" in basketball over the years, he could have easily been involved in passing insider info on to nefarious characters.

Both bets were for LSU to win/cover. That’s public knowledge now.

Everyone jokes about Bama and their lack of standards, crookedness etc. but this isn’t Bama, this is an individual, acting independently and selfishly. I’m sincerely a “fan” of the Bama baseball team (I.e. players) for the rest of the 2023 season, other than if/when our paths cross. These kids had their HC betting against them, silently rooting for them to lose and potentially making moves to ensure they’d lose. They were pawns for who knows how long and how often. For that reason, I hope they rally together and go out and win games for each other, their families/friends and the fanbase who are completely innocent in all of this.

I just watched the Southeastern 14 podcast on You Tube about Bohannon and the Alabama baseball program.

Bohannon was the 13th highest paid baseball coach in the SEC and only the Missouri coach is lower at number 14 in pay.

The Campbell and Coastal Carolina coaches were mentioned as possible replacements.

Byrne hired the LSU coach at Arisona and has a lot of connections in the college baseball community.

Hopefully Alabama does not try to poach Anderson or Elander away from us to be their next head coach.

Anderson is retiring at UT Plus he said he would not go back to HC position
I think Elander will be in running for several SEC jobs.

No doubt CFA isn't leaving and will never intentionally be a head coach again. CTV was 38 when hired by UT, I think he may have been the youngest SEC head coach, ever. Elander is only 32, I’m not sure if any SEC program would hand him the keys just yet. Don’t get me wrong, he could handle the job, just not sure if any would give him the shot

Here’s an article about when Tulane’s basketball program was shut down for point shaving and people were arrested for cocaine as well. Readers will recognize a few names in the article.

It was still fresh for many people when I went to school there in the 90s.

A sad anniversary: 25 years since Tulane basketball’s point shaving scandal
‘The Tulane scandal was the first major gambling scandal to shut down a Division I program,” Central Michigan University professor Timothy Otteman told Athlon Sports in 2007, “and that in itself is historically significant.”

He’s got more head coaching experience than your typical 32 year old. Lmao.
