Washingtonpost.com: NCAA Fears Gambling Fallout Earlier this year, a student at Cal State Fullerton was arrested for trying to bribe one of his school's basketball players to shave points.

Olympic Basketball I have no idea who came up with this team but it makes no sense to me. There is not a center on it, there are to many forwards and not enough guards. If you really like the old time play then you will love this team only Marion and Marbury were in the top 50 at 3 point attemps and no one was in the top 50 for 3 point percentage. There is only one point guard and he is more of a shooting point guard. filebox.vt.edu /users/jagoodwi/062604.htm   (199 words)

TheStreet.com: What's the Point (Spread) of Banning Wagering on College Sports in Nevada? Instead, as has been true for more than 50 years, point-shaving scandals occasionally will occur, gambling on college campuses will continue, and point spreads will be set and disseminated on college football and basketball games, whether that dissemination is through newspapers or over the Internet. The phone call resulted in an investigation of, and ultimately the conviction of, Arizona State basketball players and others for shaving points. Aside from the illegal bookmakers and organized crime, the chief "beneficiary" under the bill will be the NCAA, which will not have to worry about having to deal with point-shaving scandals, not because they will not happen, but because the only reliable mechanism for rooting out the point-shaving will have been eliminated. www.thestreet.com /comment/vegas/909910.html   (733 words)
