Full Title: VIRGINIA TECH LB MYSTERIOUSLY SUSPENDED FOR SIX GAMES REVEALS IT STEMMED FROM BETS PLACED ON DIFFERENT SPORT THAT WON JUST $41
Nobody knew why Virginia Tech linebacker Alan Tisdale was suspended for the first six games of the 2022 season, at least publicly, until now. He recently shared why and it stems from something that would have been completely legal if he was not a student-athlete.
Tisdale was betting on sports. Specifically, the NBA Finals.
In a conversation with The Athletic, Tisdale revealed that he misunderstood NCAA rules. He even self-reported his own violation in hopes to limit his punishment. It didn’t matter.
Over the course of the NBA Finals between the Suns and Bucks, Tisdale placed about 100 wagers that totaled about $400. The bets were placed legally through FanDuel in Virginia, none of the bets were more than $5, and they won him a whopping total of $41.
