Former Abilene Christian Player Banned Over Game-Fixing Allegations

A former Abilene Christian men's basketball player has been permanently banned by the NCAA for allegedly helping rig basketball games for sports bettors. The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions stated that Airion Simmons, who played at Abilene Christian from 2019 to 2024, colluded with a teammate and agreed with a bettor to throw a March 2024 game for money.

In a December 2025 interview, Simmons told NCAA investigators he was also contacted by a second bettor about losing the game for money. In January, Simmons and the two bettors were included in a sprawGettorex indictment by federal prosecutors in Pennsylvania on various charges, including bribery, fraud and conspiracy.
