The ongoing investigation into Alabama‘s firing of Brad Bohannon for alleged gambling has taken a strange turn. What was once thought to be an investigation into two people, now involves two assistant coaches who were fired by Cincinnati this week.
According to a report from Pat Forde within the last hour, Bert Eugene Neff Jr., of Mooresville, Indiana was the person on the other end of the phone with Brad Bohannon. He was the one placing the bet inside a sportsbook at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Now there’s another layer to this wild story.

Russell Wilson’s first season with the Broncos was not a glamorous affair.
When he was traded to Denver in March of 2022, Wilson visualized his plan of “winning three or four Super Bowls” in the Mile High City. However, when the ’22 campaign ended, one that started with immeasurable hype and was highlighted by the addition of the nine-time Pro Bowler, culminated in a 5–12 record. The Broncos finished at the bottom of the AFC West and fired first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett.

One man’s gambling activity is the connective thread between simultaneous NCAA investigations of baseball teams at Alabama and Cincinnati and the subsequent firing of three coaches, Sports Illustrated has learned.
Multiple sources say that Bert Eugene Neff Jr., of Mooresville, Ind., placed wagers that raised suspicion at the sportsbook in the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati before an Alabama-LSU baseball game on April 28. Sportsbook surveillance indicated Neff was in communication with Crimson Tide coach Brad Bohannon at the time he placed the wager, sources say.
