A former college football player recently came forward with the allegation that he was approached by the Italian Mafia to rig games in the SEC. The former Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback, Mo Hasan, talked about an incident that happened to him during the 2018–19 season.

On a recent episode of the ‘Momentum Podcast,’ Hasan revealed that he and some of his Vanderbilt buddies were at a bar in Nashville. A man came to him with an offer to throw games, claiming that they have done similar business with other teams as well.

I was approached at Jason Aldean's bar in Nashville by the Italian mob to fix football games. I went to get drinks, so I'm alone right now and not with my friend group. He comes up to me, and he offers me $300,000. He said, 'For something like this, 250 to 300k for a game.

Mo Hasan claimed that the SEC may be rigged

Upon further talking with the shady-looking man, he revealed to have a similar setting with players from other teams as well. He specifically mentioned the Alabama Crimson Tide. But Hasan opted to keep their names confidential because they are now part of the NFL.

He [the alleged Italian mafia guy] said, 'We regularly talk to guys at your position about fixing games.' He named guys in the SEC who I don't want to name because they're in the NFL now, and that's a bad idea. But at the University of Alabama, I will tell you that. He said almost every game in the SEC is rigged.

Hasan was primarily a backup at Vanderbilt. He only played 7 games, attempting 17 passes during his time with the Commodores. Later, he switched schools and joined USC, but never made any appearances.

So offering someone who barely ever had the chance to throw a football doesn’t make much sense. Nonetheless, Hasan’s statement is definitely concerning. He wasn’t the only one with news regarding match-fixing. Not just football, but individuals connected with other sports claimed similar allegations. Yet there was one common connection, Alabama.

Last Friday, a college basketball game between the University of Alabama-Birmingham and Temple University had a very controversial call. As per the Brobible, many believe that betting is involved. Hasan later shared a tweet of the insinuations with the caption, “Tried to tell y’all.”

Without a doubt, this is very concerning news for college football. However, nothing has been proven as of yet, and even the SEC governing committee has not issued any comments.
