CAMIAN SHELL - North Carolina A&T State University

107. In or about late February 2024, the fixers, including defendants JALEN
SMITH and RODERICK WINKLER, and Antonio Blakeney, recruited for their point-shaving
scheme defendant CAMIAN SHELL, a guard, and Person #l l, known to the grand jury, on the
North Carolina A&T State University Aggies Men's Basketball Team ("North Carolina A&T").
ln FaceTime calls with the fixers, defendant SHELL and Person #l I agreed to underperform in
and influence an upcoming North Carolina A&T game.

I 08. On or about February 29,2024, North Carolina A&T played against the
Towson University Tigers Men's Basketball Team ("Towson") at the Corbett Sports Center in
Greensboro, North Carolina. Towson was favored by approximately 7 points in the first halfat
sportsbooks throughout the United States and elsewhere. Before this game, the fixers, including
defendants MARVES FAIRLEY and SHANE HENNEN, and others acting at their direction,
placed wagers with various sportsbooks totaling at least approximately $458.000 on Towson.
Most of these wagers were placed on Towson to cover the first-half spread, and the remainder

were placed on the Towson money line in the first half. Defendant FAIRLEY, Antonio
Blakeney, and other co-schemers engaged in numerous text message communications
coordinating the wagers on this game.

109. In the hours leading up to the game between North Carolina A&T and
Towson, defendant JALEN SMITH communicated via text and on the telephone with defendant
CAMIAN SHELL about the details of their scheme to fix this game. ln text message
communications, for example, defendant SMITH directed defendant SHELL to ensure that North
Carolina A&T failed to cover the spread and that the score not be close: "10 or more points
bro[,] we should[n']t need sweating sh+t." Defendant SMITH then told defendant SHELL that he
would pay other North Carolina AT&T players if defendant SHELL needed them for the point
shaving scheme during the game: "lf it start looking shaky[,] tell 2 or 3 other [North Carolina
AT&T players] what it is and they paid too." Defendant SHELL answered affirmatively, adding
a "love" emoji to defendant SMITH's text.

I 10. On or about February 29,2024, in the NCAA men's basketball game
between North Carolina A&T and Towson, defendant CAMIAN SHELL and Person #l I
underperformed in and influenced the first half as they had agreed. Towson outscored North
Carolina A&T 42 to 2l in the first half, covering the spread, and the fixers won their bets.
Without the North Carolina A&T players intentionally underperforming in the second half of the
game, North Carolina A&T played substantially better, with Towson outscoring North Carolina
A&T 42 to 37. Towson won the game 84 to 58.

I I l. Shortly after this game, on or about February 29,2024, and continuing
through the next day, defendant JALEN SMITH texted with defendant CAMIAN SHELL about
delivering the bribe payments to defendant SHELL in Greensboro, North Carolina. When

defendant SHELL responded that he might have difficulty meeting defendant SMITH because of
basketball obligations, defendant SMITH suggested making the delivery of the bribe payment to
someone else for defendant SHELL. Defendant SHELL responded, "Hell nah[,] [ain't] nobody
down here I trust, what time it say you gone get here?" After additional text exchanges,
defendant SHELL said, "How much was it suppose to be just in case bruh try to touch our sh*t?"

You're an animal, Oakes. Nice work.

Given it's a weakness of ours, I'm always looking at the boards. Hofstra's +8 in conference play, including +15 against Campbell, +11 against Monmouth and +7 against Drexel. Meanwhile we're -6 (sigh). Over Hofstra's four games, they have FIVE guys who average five or more boards a game (compared to our two). And two of those guys are Davis and Edmead. I like the kid DeCady too. With Davis, he's their most productive duo per EvanMiya – pretty good for a non-shooter. We'll leave him alone on the perimeter. But he's athletic and physical on the defensive end, and he and/or Patterson should see plenty of Pratt. Led by them, Tejada was just 6 for 20 against Hofstra.

And Edmead's now a SIX-time CAA Rookie of the Week, and it's the middle of January. For reference, Warney had eight in his freshman year. Edmead's a blur offensively, a pain defensively. A Jaquan Carlosy find. The freshman class is small (in number and height), but he and Roberts were two terrific gets for Speedy.

Only one team in the top five in both offensive and defensive efficiency per KenPom, and that’s Hofstra. Just four games but pretty good.

As Oakes said, the pendulum's swung our way a bit in this series – three in a row! How awesome was that CAA tournament win? Hint: It was awesome. We sure could use another stunner here.

Around Stony Brook U... / Re: Making SB better- Idea Thread 2.0

a question ive been asking for nearly 30 years...

Why do Stony Brook students wear other schools’ merch?
https://sbstatesman.com/141664/arts/why-do-stony-brook-students-wear-other-schools-merch/

Quote
Whether you wander or rush around campus, you’ve undoubtedly come across students who elect to represent other universities on their clothing.

Due to the abundance of opportunities to come by Stony Brook University merch around campus, like free T-shirts from homecoming, athletic and club events, not to mention our newly-renovated campus bookstore with student-designed options for sale, I had to wonder what makes students favor other schools’ clothing.

Granted, I myself don’t usually wear Stony Brook clothing outside, as I only own one hoodie that my sister has taken in as her own. Instead, while lounging around my dorm, I like to wear the free oversized T-shirts I’ve accumulated over the semesters. I don’t own any other school’s clothing, however.

It was in September when I first began noticing the strange pattern of other universities’ names cropping up on students’ clothes. I decided to interview those who choose to represent other universities — at the time, in my mind, a distasteful act — on campus. Though today I don’t harbor this same resentment, my great love for Stony Brook overwhelmingly colored my perspective then.

Over the course of this semester, while people-watching, waiting for food and even in class, I kept my eyes peeled for the bright logos of other universities.

In approaching people I didn’t know, I was rather unceremonious in that I interrupted whatever they were doing, though I drew the line at studying (only if they had tears of frustration).

As a result of my bothering random people around campus and learning what fueled their choices, I was able to highlight a few standout merchandise wearers.

Oct. 21

Micayla Malewicz, a sophomore studying information systems, wore a Berkshire University sweater. “I found it at a thrift store,” she shared. “It’s really comfortable.”

Oct. 2

Matthew Oh, a freshman studying health sciences, wore a Pennsylvania State University shirt. “I like Penn State football,” he explained.

Sept. 30

Julianne Stainkamp, a sociology student, wore a Dartmouth College sweatshirt because she was invited to attend a hockey game there. Nearby, Alexandria Kipp, a sophomore studying psychology, shared an anecdote that, in the United Kingdom, it’s frowned upon to wear your college merch on-campus, but if you wear merch from another college campus, it’s seen as acceptable. Having never studied at a non-American school, I can’t attest to this, but cross-cultural comparison is particularly interesting to me.

Sept. 28

Jeff Chen, a senior biology student, wore a Boston University shirt to the gym because his “girlfriend goes to BU and it was a gift from her.”

At the conclusion of my months-long investigation, I realized that it’s not a lack of school spirit influencing fashion decisions or a dislike for the offerings at the on-campus store, as evidenced by the sizable population that wears Stony Brook merch around town. Instead, more often than not, the choice to wear other colleges’ merchandise stems purely from the love and appreciation for the people in our lives and the world around us. What easier way to hold a person closer in mind than wearing clothing that reminds you of them?

And, alternatively, though just as altruistically, students are showing their appreciation for sustainability through thrifting.

My previously heartless view has changed.

ultimately i dont even care who the admin/coach is.  if we pass the ball, we play better.

the other night we had some ridiculously high # of assists, like 18, and we nearly toppled the #1 team.  when we take 30 three pointers (and miss twenty something), we lose. 

just pass the rock.
