Dayton Basketball: Former Flyer Declared ‘Permanently Ineligible’ by NCAA
The NCAA said digital evidence showed Njie shared information with a bettor before two games, and the bettor placed $15,500 in wagers.
- On Thursday, the NCAA made former Iona player Adam Njie permanently ineligible for competition due to his involvement in a point-shaving scheme. An NCAA Division I infractions committee panel released the agreement announcing his violations and punishment.
- Njie admitted to telling a bettor he would throw the first half of games against Rice on Dec. 1, 2024, and Sacred Heart on Dec. 6, 2024, after being threatened with bodily harm by the bettor.
- The NCAA reported a bettor placed three wagers totaling $15,500 on Rice covering the first-half spread, and digital evidence confirmed Njie shared prohibited information with the bettor before both contests.
- After transferring to Dayton where he never played for the Flyers, Njie was signed by Hampton last month out of the transfer portal.
- The NCAA treats sharing information with bettors as equivalent to point-shaving, regardless of whether a player actually fixes the game, permanently ending Njie's collegiate eligibility.
