Bert Neff, accused of using insider information to bet on an Alabama-LSU college baseball game last year, was sentenced to eight months in prison.
Bert Neff, an Indiana businessman who federal authorities described as a professional gambler, was sentenced to eight months in prison and three years of supervised release Monday for his role in a betting scandal involving an SEC baseball game in 2023, according to a spokesperson for the United States Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Alabama
Neff pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice charges in March after federal authorities accused him of destroying evidence, tampering with witnesses and providing false statements to the FBI during an investigation into suspicious betting on an Alabama-LSU baseball game on April 28, 2023. The investigation ultimately led to the firing of then-Crimson Tide baseball coach Brad Bohannon. Multiple sources told ESPN that Neff, after communicating with Bohannon about a lineup change, attempted to bet on LSU to win the game in question. Bohannon, who has not been named in court documents, was terminated by Alabama in early May 2023.
