SAN DIEGO — Authorities with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI announced Monday that 10 people have been indicted in connection with a point-fixing scheme involving at least two former University of San Diego basketball players and a former USD assistant coach.

The indictment charges the 10 with conspiracy to commit sports bribery, operate an illegal sports bookmaking service and distribute marijuana, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

It further alleges that the conspirators bribed college basketball players to alter the outcome of games and then bet on those games in Las Vegas.

Former Toreros players Brandon Johnson and Brandon Dowdy and the team’s former assistant coach Thaddeus Brown were named in the indictment, officials said.
