What are the recent sports gambling scandals?

Dan Le Batard 1:15
And he just reported with Michael Rosenberg the latest news inside a gambling ring that will look to me from where I'm standing. This could be a monster story here. And it seems like it's becoming something that will become larger in days and weeks. But Pat joins us now with some of his fresher reporting. And, Pat, why is it that people aren't paying attention to some of the things you're paying attention to here that has, you know, federal and NCAA authorities investigating something in a way that feels like a more relevant investigation than the average NCAA investigation, which can be pretty useless. And thank you for joining us, by the way.
Yeah. Hey, happy to be with you. And yeah, this is an interesting one that could get significantly more interesting. I agree. Why aren't people paying as much attention? Well, for one thing, you know, John T. Porter, first of all, is a bit player in the NBA who's been banned. So he's past tense. Terry Rozier has kept playing to the surprise of some, but there's an investigation underway there into one game in particular when he was at Charlotte. The college stuff is generally speaking with lower level

Who are Shane Hennon and Marvis Fairley?

schools that are under investigation and I think it's easy for people to tune out what may be happening at Eastern Michigan or North Carolina A&T or Mississippi Valley State or even Temple and some others so you know I think it's one of those we're gonna the more this kind of succeeds upon itself and and builds upon itself the more people are going to be forced to pay attention We're coming up to March, Dan, when people really start to lock in on college basketball. And I think there's going to be reason to worry and wonder how many schools have gambling problems.

All right, Pat, let's talk about this, though, because I do believe that these uneasy tensions between so much of the gambling money and being responsible for floating what's happening in sports right now. And you can get in bed with lower level schools and make yourself money in a way that really threatens the integrity of what it is that we're watching. So just take us through some of your humanizing investigation of the characters involved here, because this is, You're doing reporting here and you're meeting basically these gambling characters that of course are going to be kind of from the underworld and know how to get in bed with kids who want to make a few extra thousand dollars.
Yeah, not exactly choir boys involved in this as you would not be surprised to find out. The two characters that we honed in on the story, one is named Shane Hennon, a gambler who was arrested at the Las Vegas airport last month as he was attempting to go to Colombia on a one-way ticket. He has been linked to the Porter gambling ring. And then another guy named Marvis Fairley from Mississippi, his name has not come out publicly, but he has been described by Shane Hennin himself as my partner. And both these guys have gambling tout services. They also have lengthy criminal records. Shane Hennin has described been involved with cocaine trafficking, an assault, violations of parole, and then again was just arrested last month.
