How have fans reacted to this news?
Fans are unhappy with this case, to say the least. Though. a few said that if he had committed some other crime, he would have been forgiven. While the other said that the university should have paid him better to stop him from betting against his team.
If he’d only played accessories to murder and had a better record this would have been forgiven.

Maybe the university should pay him more so he doesn’t have to bet against his team to make money

Notably, unlike MLB players and coaches, college baseball and minor league baseball systems do not have strong financial backing. And as per fans, that could be the reason Bohannon may have violated his responsibilities.
I’d be betting too if I had to coach college baseball
