A former SEC quarterback has made a bombshell revelation this week, supposedly exposing the Italian Mob’s influence on college football.
The Mafia had a stranglehold on New York from the 1930s to the early 2000s and is thought to be mostly defunct after hundreds of arrests and convictions. But one would be foolish to think that it’s no longer in operation.
According to Mo Hasan, who was a quarterback at Vanderbilt in 2018 and 2019, the mob wields influence over the results of college football games and was actively rigging Alabama fixtures when he played.
Hasan appeared in six games for the Commodores, also starting in a win over Missouri.
Speaking on a recent episode of the ‘The Momentum Podcast’ (H/T Blue Bloods Bias), he recalled being offered a significant sum to rig a game while claiming that other SEC players were already making lots of cash as part of the scheme.
“I was approached at Jason Aldean’s bar in Nashville by the Italian Mob to fix football games,” he said. “He offered me $300,000.”

Hassan didn’t mention any names as some of the players are now in the NFL, but he did point to the Crimson Tide as he disclosed being told that nearly every game in the SEC is rigged.
“But University of Alabama, I will tell you that,” he added. “[The mobster] said that almost every game in the SEC is rigged.”
Hasan didn’t state whether he accepted the offer or not.
Should this gather traction, it could open up a can of worms for the NCAA. Some reports detailing this interview have already disappeared from the internet, which suggests it’s ruffled some feathers.
