Send Bidemi a Text Message! In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde explored the shocking arrests of NBA figures Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups, unraveling how gaps in background checks and integrity systems allowed high-profile sports professionals to become entangled in betting, fraud, and organized crime. He examined similar scandals across global leagues — from Brazilian and Australian football to tennis and the National Football League in the U.S. — and examined the psychology of why millionaire athletes and coaches risk everything for illicit gains. This thought-provoking analysis revealed how technology, oversight, and culture intersect in modern sports corruption. Support the show
