Alabama fired baseball coach Brad Bohannon for connection to bets on loss to LSU: Sources

New York Times  

Alabama fired baseball coach Brad Bohannon after he was found to be connected with betting activity in Ohio concerning the LSU-Alabama game on Friday, two people briefed on the investigation told The Athletic. According to a statement issued by the school, athletic director Greg Byrne initiated the termination process, and Alabama will not provide further comment due to an “ongoing review.” Bohannon’s firing comes days after a report that Ohio gambling regulators instructed sportsbooks to halt betting on Alabama baseball games on Monday afternoon. “The prohibition on Alabama baseball wagers continues until it is lifted by the Commission,” said Jessica Franks, the director of communications for the Ohio Casino Control Commission. “The University of Alabama has taken swift action after information about baseball sports wagering activity was questioned by industry regulators,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
