Approximately 15 months after the high court’s ruling, Patz sent a series of explicit messages to four members of MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays, threatening to “sever” their necks open. Accused by federal investigators of targeting more than 300 accounts of pro and college athletes, Patz pleaded guilty in 2021 to transmitting threats in interstate or foreign commerce.

Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, opened the hearing with an anecdote from March Madness the prior season.

Bacot, who finished with 18 points and seven rebounds, drew the ire of bettors for missing the “over” on his rebound total.

The panel featured Mid-American Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher, among other college sports leaders.
