Authorities in New Orleans formally charged a ninth person with sports bribery in the point-shaving scandal that led to the end of men’s basketball at Tulane University.

Ken Turkel, a senior business major, is the fourth Tulane student charged in the alleged scheme. He is the former roommate of Gary Kranz, who has been labeled the ringleader of the scheme to bribe Tulane players to fix games.

Kranz apparently implicated Turkel in a statement he made when pleading guilty July 16.
