Alabama’s baseball gambling scandal is impossibly stupid

In the latest stupid gambling infraction, former Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon and the Alabama baseball program has been given a massive penalty for Bohannon giving out insider information in order to place a bet on the Apr. 28 game between Alabama and LSU.

The NCAA handed Bohannon a 15-year show cause penalty, with a five-year suspension if he gets hired in between that time. In addition, the University of Alabama baseball program has to serve a three-year probation and pay a $5K fine. Alabama is considered a repeat violator, but the uniqueness of this case made it stand alone, per The Athletic’s Chris Vannini.
