We have a college basketball point-shaving scandal at Auburn, according to Yahoo! Sports ...
(Don't they seem to be coming up with a lot of this idiocy lately?)
The Feds have been investigating suspended Auburn player Varez Ward with respect to point-shaving two Auburn games.
Ward and a second player (named in the article, but not here because the second player was cleared of any misconduct and allowed to return to the team) were suspended two weeks ago when it was discovered that Ward attempted to get a number of players on Auburn to take part in a point-shaving situation in two SEC contests, one in late January and one in early February.
The Feds were instantly notified by Auburn when Auburn found out of the allegations.
The article does enough of a job in giving some of the P's and Q's regarding Ward's play in those two games. It also states that Ward had been a starter, but his minutes steadily dropped over the course of the season.
Could the old joke of "They don't pay us enough to keep the games straight..." apply here?
