Welcome back, everyone, to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! We’ve got a strange topic this week, as over the last few days, a gambling scandal has emerged from the Fresno State basketball program. Amidst what is already their worst season in decades, the Bulldogs found a new way to make their fans frown, with three players being suspended or removed from the team for gambling. To make matters worse, two of those players placed prop bets on their own games. We’ll go over how the situation unfolded, what players are involved, and where head coach Vance Walberg, the suspended players, and Fresno State’s program goes from here. Really deep dive this week, let’s get right into it.
