Any referees?

Any referees?

First thought….pointless if they continue to get off the hook. Im 100% certain theres more than a handful who are corrupt.

Absolutely. If all this comes down to is certain gamblers and former athletes I think it’s more than fair to have some skepticism and that they are picking and choosing who to go after vs cracking down on all of it.

20 charged in connection with rigging college basketball games as part of FBI investigation

Federal prosecutors charged 20 people in an alleged point-shaving scheme involving dozens of college basketball players, according to an indictment.

Games involving the following teams were allegedly rigged or impacted, investigators say: Western Michigan University, Butler, St. John's, Tulane, East Carolina, McNeese State, Nicholls State, St. Louis University, Duquesne, La Salle, Fordham, SUNY Buffalo, Kent State, Ohio University, Georgetown and DePaul.

St John’s, Mcneese , Gtown hmmmmm

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Tony failed TV again?

 

[Eric15]

All I wanted was for UConn to be involved in this and their recent two titles taken away and Dan Hurley banned from coaching forever. Is that really too much to ask?

 

[cusefan88]

St John’s, Mcneese , Gtown hmmmmm

Could be they were the opponents in the game and having them included makes it slightly more salacious for clicks.

Unfortunately, they are just plain good at what they do.

 

[Scott11]

This is why the line dropping so precipitously for the Florida State game freaked me out. Not casting aspirtions but these are dangerous times that can kill a program.

Well, maybe they were paid to suck...

And that’s a totally different crime now, isn't it?

The other five defendants were described by authorities as fixers. At least two of the defendants, Shane Hennen and Marves Fairley, were also charged in a federal indictment in the Eastern District of New York centered on gambling schemes in the NBA.

Former NBA player Antonio Blakeney was named but not charged in the indictment. The indictment describes Blakeney as being "charged elsewhere."

The scheme, according to the 70-page indictment, began around September

that's a boring list.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Nobody could have ever seen this coming.

 

[IraSez]

Ruh roh! Federal prosecutors charge 20 men with alleged conspiracy to manipulate college basketball games

 

[MGraves5]

Why couldn't these players be on teams we played on a regular basis lol

Schools that don’t have a lot of NIL for their players

Just pushing back on you a bit. If you are 100% certain there are more than a handful of referees are corrupt and involved in point shaving, I’m assuming you have direct evidence to support your claim.

Or are you just being hyperbolic for the sake of your position on the matter?

Saint Louis being on the list isn’t good if we want to target Schertz as Red’s replacement. Hopefully the point shaving occurred before 2024 when he was named head coach.

 

[Eric15]

It makes sense that these are mid-major teams. If I was a Henry Hill-type trying to fix a basketball game, I would want it to be for a team that is extremely under the radar with as few national eyeballs as possible.

St John’s, Mcneese , Gtown hmmmmm

Wonder if St John’s firing of their GM has anything to do with it?

St. John’s fires men’s basketball GM Matt Abdelmassih, who was reportedly on administrative leave

“Look, it's never good to see people go, but in the eyes of the university, it was very warranted, so we move on,” coach Rick Pitino said.

Apparently he diverted funds to cuomo’s nyc campaign. That was a questionable move on a number of levels.
