At the center of the investigation is Bert Eugene Neff Jr., an Indiana resident who drew attention from an Ohio sportsbook after placing suspicious wagers on an Alabama-LSU baseball game on April 28. Sportsbook surveillance discovered that Neff was in communication with Alabama coach Brad Bohannon at the time he placed his bets. Bohannon was fired from his position earlier this month.
