Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3517211, member: 1969"] I am sure this happens in cupcake games more than we think. Point shaving doesn't even have to be a major criminal enterprise with big$ that happens over frequent number of games. Some friend may bet $1,000 in a game a few times a year in cupcake games -- goes totally under the radar and is very low risk way to get a few bucks. The players know they play in a corrupt system, where the NCAA, administrators, and coaches are all often seen as corrupt and getting well paid, so it leads to some questionable actions -- but if they win anyway, that probably justifies it in their minds. Doesn't make it right. But this is the nexus of NCAA sports - people surrounded by corruption justifying actions that at their core they know are not right. [/QUOTE]
