Tennessee coach Rick Barnes makes joke about players betting on games
""sometimes I wonder if my guys are betting on games""
""I shouldn't say that, but you know...erase that...""
""Protecting competition integrity is of the utmost importance for the NCAA. We are thankful for law enforcement agencies working to detect and combat integrity issues and match manipulation in college sports.""
Rick Barnes joked during a press conference that he sometimes wondered if his players were betting on games, then immediately said "erase that," laughed, and apologized. The comment followed discussion of several questionable bad passes and prompted laughter from Barnes and members of the press. A social media clip captured the exchange. Recent federal allegations have tied dozens of individuals to a long-running scheme involving bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and match manipulation in college sports. NCAA President Charlie Baker emphasized that protecting competition integrity and working with law enforcement remain top priorities.
