wire fraud and just plain ol' fraud. The "victims" or damaged parties are the Universities involved. In most cases they are charging fraud because the money that changed hands ended up causing the schools damage due to having to forfit championships and fines and other losses. The perps procured the players for the schools knowing if the details came to light the school would be basically screwed.
There are probably other charges that can be brought, but this is kind of the crux.
