I just watched the 30 for 30 on BC b-ball point shaving. I'd seen it and

read about it before. The FBI went through hours and hours of film and could never figure out anything that would have signaled that the games weren't 100% on the up and up.

Another cut, fast approaching a thousand.**

He bet on his own team. All sports betting is banned by NCAA anyway.**

And what do the XFL, Blockbuster, and Pan Am think about it?

The courts have done more damage to the sport than even the NCAA.
