Two former Fordham basketball players have been permanently banned by the NCAA for their roles in a point-shaving scheme that was the subject of a sprawling federal indictment unsealed in January. According to the NCAA, Elijah Gray and Will Richardson each agreed with a bettor to throw a game against Duquesne on Feb. 23, 2024, in exchange for $10,000 to $15,000. Gray was one of more than two dozen people accused by federal prosecutors in Pennsylvania conspiring to fix games. He has agreed to plead guilty in that case. The NCAA says Gray told investigators that he ultimately reneged on his agreement to underperform during the game and was not paid.
