Brad Bohannon was fired in May 2023 after being linked to a sports gambling investigation.

Описание: Former Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon was fired in May 2023 after being linked to a sports gambling investigation. He provided insider information about a player's injury to an individual who was attempting to place a large bet on an Alabama-LSU game, leading to him receiving a 15-year show-cause order from the NCAA in February 2024. 

The incident: 

On April 28, 2023, Bohannon texted a bettor with insider information about a starting pitcher being out for the game against LSU. 

The bettor: 

The bettor, identified as Bert Eugene Neff, attempted to place a $100,000 wager but was limited to $15,000 due to the suspicious activity. 

The consequence for Bohannon: 

The university fired him, and the NCAA later sanctioned him with a 15-year show-cause order, meaning any NCAA institution that hires him must suspend him for 100% of the baseball regular season for the first five years. He was also added to the Ohio Casino Control Commission's involuntary exclusion list. 

The consequence for the university: 

The University of Alabama received three years of probation and a $5,000 fine. 

The bettor's outcome: 

Bert Eugene Neff pleaded guilty to federal obstruction charges related to the investigation.
