Re: Point Shaving
Where there is gambling, there will usually be cheating. The pro leagues want some of the gambling money so they promote it, get in bed with the sportsbooks, then cry and whine when players throw games.

The NCAA got in bed with the gambling houses, then pay 18-24 years olds millions of dollars - what did they think was gonna happen?

Re: Point Shaving
As if college athletics needed any more bad news…I can’t imagine the amount of distrust and suspicion that will pop up on college basketball squads across the country.
