Yeah.
I mean, I think there's been this transformation in the sport over the last few years that has really paved the way for this run from Indiana.
I mean, there's no restrictions anymore or much fewer on players transferring from school to school.
Players can earn money now.
And so there's been a lot made of how Kurt Cignetti aggressively was recruiting transfers, more experienced players to come in and make an impact right away.
Indiana has also just invested more money into its football program.
And it just shows how quickly things can change, how schools that aren't your traditional powerhouses, like Alabama, Ohio State, can suddenly become contenders much more easily before.
You know, I'll tell you, Michelle, I'm a graduate of the University of Kansas.
That's another school that's way up high on that list of college football's most losses all time.
Fans of all sorts of schools are now asking themselves, why not us?
So congrats to Indiana fans.
I hope you all enjoy it today.
You're welcome.
The indictment names 20 college basketball players and six people who allegedly conspired to fix the games.
Prosecutors say the scheme involved teams that were favored to lose a game or the first half of a game.
Defendants are accused of bribing players with $10,000 to $30,000 apiece to deliberately underperform so that their team would lose by more than the spread set by betting markets.
Then they'd bet on the team to lose and reap the winnings.
In all, prosecutors say the conspirators attempted to fix at least 29 NCAA games involving teams like Georgetown, Butler, and St.
In a statement, NCAA President Charlie Baker said investigations are complete or ongoing of the teams involved, along with 40 players.
