Former SEC quarterback Mo Hasan made a bombshell claim recently that the mafia was paying players to fix college football games while he was playing in the conference in 2018 and 2019.

“I was approached at Jason Aldean’s bar in Nashville by the Italian mob to fix football games,” Hasan said on a recent episode of The Momentum Podcast. “He offered me $300,000.

“I went to get drinks and so I’m alone right now. I’m not with my friend group. He comes up to me. He offered me $300,000.

“He said, ‘For something like this, my clients $250 to $300K. For a game,” Hasan continued.

“He said we regularly talk to guys in your position about fixing games. He said, he named guys in the SEC who, I don’t want to say their names because they’re in the NFL right now and that’s a bad deal. But, the University of Alabama, I will tell you that.

“He said almost every game in the SEC is rigged.”

Hasan said all of this over a week ago and it has gotten almost no attention from the media. Why is that?

Is it because Hasan only played in seven college football games, all at Vanderbilt, before transferring to USC and not getting into a single game for the Trojans? Or is it because Mo Hasan was just trying to troll everyone?

On Friday, a college basketball game between the University of Alabama-Birmingham and Temple University was flagged for unusual betting activity after suspicious line movement.

This led to Hasan doubling down on his claim that college sports are being fixed by the mafia.

Naturally, because the internet loves nothing more than a good conspiracy theory, there were many people on social media who believed Mo Hasan with one post about it on X garnering over 750 comments and 1,400 quote tweets.

Then again, there were also a whole lot of comments like this one: “The funniest thing about this allegation is thinking that the Vanderbilt QB has any ability to fix a a game.”
