A former college quarterback claimed the Italian mob offered him hundreds of thousands of dollars to rig football games during his time at Vanderbilt University.
Mo Hasan, who played backup quarterback for the Commodores in 2018 and 2019, said on his podcast he was approached by a mobster who offered him $300,000 to fix Commodores games.
Hasan claimed the wiseguy told him “Almost every game in the SEC is rigged” after approaching the former college signal caller at Jason Aldean’s Kitchen and Rooftown Bar in Nashville.
The ex-Commodore added Alabama was one of the schools involved.
“He said, ‘We regularly talk to guys at your position about fixing games,’” Hasan said in a clip of the episode posted on X. “He named guys in the SEC, who I don’t want to say their names because they’re in the NFL right now … but University of Alabama, I’ll tell you that.”
Comments were skeptical of Hasan, with one X user questioning how he “exactly is going to rig a game” – since he only threw 17 passes during his time at Vanderbilt.
Hasan’s story even caught the attention of ESPN analyst and former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy.
“It’s hard to rig games from the bench, so I’ve been told,” McElroy said Friday on his “McElroy & Cubelic In The Morning” podcast.
