.Got some dirty games to clean up. That's the honest truth, Big 12 is hopping on the bandwagon to reinforce the integrity of its college games, partnering with US Integrity - a top-dog in the integrity and monitoring game. Let me break it down for y'all.
Big 12 Tightens Its Grip on Game Integrity
With a massive betting scandal rocking the NCAA world and student-athletes and coaches potentially betting on their own games, Big 12 decided it's high time they get their house in order.

With the sports betting landscape evolving, it's crucial to reinforce integrity across our Conference."
ProhiBet Technology Comes Knocking
