Multiple sources have confirmed the identity of the parent involved in gambling that resulted in the firing of two University of Cincinnati baseball coaches last week.

The sources confirmed to The Enquirer what was first reported by Sports Illustrated - that Bert Neff of Mooresville, Indiana was in communication with Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon on April 28 prior to a Crimson Tide game with LSU.

Bohannon was fired May 4, after an investigation revealed that he was on the phone with Neff as he was placing large wagers on Alabama to lose to LSU on April 28 at the Great American Ballpark sportsbook.
