Eastern Michigan Faces Investigation for Suspicious Betting Activity

Eastern Michigan University's men's basketball game against Central Michigan on January 14 has come under investigation due to suspicious betting activity, with multiple sportsbooks reporting unusual wagering patterns. Betting integrity firms flagged the game after a bettor attempted to place their largest wager to date on Central Michigan to cover the first-half spread, which shifted significantly from CMU -3.5 to -6.5 shortly before tip-off. This incident marks the second time this season that an Eastern Michigan game has raised concerns, following a similar alert regarding their December 21 game against Wright State. An Eastern Michigan spokesperson confirmed that they are cooperating with the Mid-American Conference while the investigation is ongoing. The Michigan Gaming Control Board acknowledged awareness of the situation but did not provide further details. Central Michigan won the game 82-63, and Eastern Michigan's athletic department is currently reviewing the matter.
