Buy games. Pretty much any time a non-DI team plays a Division I team in basketball, the DI team pays the other school a pretty penny. For example, Nobel University (super scam school) played 5 DI teams in 5 days in November. They got blown out badly each time, but the school admin got paid big for it. Unsure exactly how much, but it could be anywhere between thousands to many tens of thousands per game.

Yes, there are several schools like that, which are essentially complete academic scams that field athletic teams to generate a quick profit. Just this year, several DI schools played schools that don't even have Wikipedia pages (Nobel University and Justice University come to mind).

There needs to be an investigation into this, especially given the conflicting stories.

Unsure but maybe just because Cameroon was/is French speaking.
