We've got a match-fixing scandal in the ACC...

(Blogger's Note:  I regret the obvious error.  Wake Forest in the Big Ten???)

Just WHY is the one remaining question...

Thank you to my anonymous bullshit detector and to Deadspin for this one.

The announcer of Wake Forest University football has been thrown off the campus and fired.

And I think the FBI is going to have a talk with him real soon now.

According to Wake Forest University, Tommy Elrod gave game materials, with game plans and everything, on multiple occasions, dating back to at least 2014.

He was found out when, after Wake Forest was trashed by Louisville (this year, and there was talk there was sabotage involved...), Wake Forest found out that Louisville knew of plays Wake Forest had never run.

First thought my friend had was gambling debts.

Why?

• Elrod was an assistant at Wake Forest for at least 11 years, including six (at least) as quarterbacks coach. (From cached searching, he's already been pulled off the Wake Forest official site.)
• Elrod also played for Wake Forest.
• He certainly had access to all that as a trusted member of the Wake Forest community for so many years.

And the worst part of it:  Louisville was a 34.5 point favorite in the game he was caught.

Louisville only won by 32.
