The College Baseball Betting Scandal
Burt Eugene Neff Jr. walked into the Bet MGM Sportsbook at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati with a large amount of cash looking to make a huge score.

Three people familiar with the investigation told Sports Illustrated that Neff wanted to bet more than $100,000 on a college baseball game that night.
