Accounts connected with a gambling ring that is under federal investigation for its participation in two NBA betting cases have been tied to "unusual wagering activity" on at least three men's college basketball programs this season. The three schools -- North Carolina A&T, Mississippi Valley State and Eastern Michigan -- were all reportedly bet against by the gambling ring and flagged by betting integrity monitors at various points this season, according to ESPN. North Carolina A&T recently suspended three basketball players -- including the top two scorers on the season for "violating team rules" last week -- though it's unclear if the indefinite suspensions are tied to the betting case. read more

A federal lawsuit filed alleges one of the main companies involved in managing the construction of the Obama Presidential Center racially discriminated against one of the project's Black American-owned local subcontractors, leaving them $40 million in the red and at risk of bankruptcy. But the company in charge of engineering and professional design services for the center pointed the finger right back, saying in an attached memo that construction costs and delays "were all unequivocally driven by the underperformance and inexperience" of that subcontractor, II in One. Robert McGee, the owner of II in One, a South Side company that provided concrete and rebar services for the center starting in 2021, sued New York-based Thornton Tomasetti in federal court earlier this month, seeking to be paid back for roughly $40 million in construction costs the local company covered itself along with its joint venture partners.
