Bert Neff Jr. has been sentenced to eight months in prison for his role in 2023's Alabama Crimson Tide baseball betting scandal.The man who conspired with a former Alabama baseball coach and attempted to place a six-figure wager at an Ohio sportsbook received an eight-month prison sentence on Monday for his role in the 2023 college baseball betting scandal.
Brad Bohannon, the former coach, was not named by the Northern District of Alabama US Attorney's Office in court documents. However, on April 28, 2023, “Individual-1” provided Neff with information on the availability status of Alabama’s starting pitcher before a regular-season game against LSU.Neff allegedly tried to cover up his involvement in the scandal when the FBI investigated the suspicious betting activity.
“The defendant destroyed evidence, tampered with witnesses, and provided false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He did not do this once. He did it on dozens of occasions, and he did so for the greater part of a year.”Neff was reportedly seen on surveillance at BetMGM Sportsbook across from the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati communicating with Bohannon shortly before the game.
According to court documents, Neff shared a screenshot of Bohannon’s message with four other gamblers, who also bet on the game, which LSU won 8-6.Neff attempted to bet $100,000 on LSU, an especially large wager for the college baseball regular-season market and more than the retail sports betting operator had taken in all month.
