DraftKings being deceptive again...

A DraftKings ad came across my Twitch viewing of the ongoing Race To World First in World of Warcraft tonight.

San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Riverside, etc. and so forth...

DraftKings Sports is in California, starting September 2nd.

It's the prediction-market workaround bullshit...

Super Bowl $eahawk$: Did Tom Brady throw Super Bowl LX?

I'm not going to attribute the Tweet for which I found, but go to the direct source instead.  The indirect source is completely shitlisted.

However, the Awful Announcing blog has made a charge that Tom Brady may well have thrown Super Bowl LX to the Seahawks.

Their source?  Seattle head coach Mike MacDonald -- on today's The Dan Patrick Show:

MacDonald, at the celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, acknowledges that someone with a "conflict of interest" aided MacDonald and the Seahawks in their preparations to defeat the Patriots last February.

That said, there are two MAJOR problems:

That would be a level of betrayal on a scale even beyond Brett Favre and the Packers or Calahan and the Raiders to aid Gruden and the Buccaneers.

The larger problem, though, appears to be Tom Brady's involvement with FOX Sports, and that leading to a possibility that the NFL themselves might've been involved in tampering through Brady passing information to the Seahawks.

And Brady's involvement as a part-owner of the Raiders -- the Raiders getting the Seahawks' offensive coordinator as their new head coach.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......

Couple of June 30 notes:

• As of now, it appears Brendan Sorsby WILL get his NFL shot in 2027, but he'll have to sit out the entire 2026 season.  The NFL, NFLPA, and a third party came to an agreement that Sorsby will be treated as entering the 2027 Draft fully, including the Senior Bowl, Combine, etc.
• And then there's Wilson Contreras, who may be in line for one of the biggest on-field Discipline Blotter situations in recent MLB history.

Contreras was thrown out of Monday night's game for mocking the umpire by tapping his helmet.  Some might think it excessive, but the first-base umpire caught it and threw Contreras.

That was probably handled normally.

Tonight's won't be.

After being struck out by Cade Cavalli, Contreras heard what was believed to be "Sit down, boy!" from Cavalli.  Contreras advanced toward Cavalli, benches clear in the argument, Contreras throws his helmet at Cavalli, and Contreras loses his helmet and attempts to swipe Cavalli twice with it.

Four people were eventually ejected.

Now, a couple of things to keep in mind before I give you my verdict:

• This is back-to-back ejections.  Even managers, in my opinion, should be suspended a game under almost any circumstances for back-to-back ejections, before we get to anything else.  But at least that happens with respect to managers from time to time.
• He was suspended six games just ten months ago for a large-scale fight.

I say 6-7-8 games, appeal MAYBE down to five.  But then MLB makes it clear:  Another large-scale event like this he starts, and the bidding starts either side of a month.

[Sorsby] One more step, people...

Brendan Sorsby has been banned from the CFL today.

And Sorsby is probably headed to prison...

As a probable prelude to banning him, the NFL is NOT holding a 2026 Supplemental Draft.

The NFL does not believe Sorsby is accountable for his crimes.  It's basically certain he will be banned from the NFL.

The ball is now back in the Big XII's court.  Apparently, the Texas Tech program was probably told it would be thrown out of the conference, and, as of now, it appears he can't go back...

I don't see this going very far either... (The next chapter of the Sorsby Saga...)

Brendan Sorsby has filed for the Supplemental Draft of the NFL.

This is probably under threat of Texas A&M's material expulsion from the Big XII Conference, but we will see if this is the end of the story, or whether Commissioner Goodell will even allow him to take a practice field in the NFL before banning his ass.

BOOM! There it just went...

A known gambling addict and probable game-fixer with a major NCAA school has just won an injunction to play next season at Texas Tech.

In an unthinkably stupid decision, almost exclusively on the concept that gambling addiction is a mental illness and needs to be treated (which it is, BUT...), Brendan Sorsby has won an injunction barring the NCAA from banning him, even though he is known, at the very least, to have placed 40 bets while a freshman quarterback at Indiana for games Indiana played in the 2022 season.

If even ONE of those bets was against the Hoosiers, he should be in prison for sports bribery.

He should be as welcome on a football field as I should be at a Broadway theatre -- banned as a danger to the entire institution thereto.

Now, boo-hoo to TCU coach Sonny Dykes, who publicly asked how any sporting event can be trusted ever again.  Coach Dykes, you are about...  25 years, if not more, too late.  My position, unlike other sports conspiracy theorists, is that any game that can be fixed is.

But to give you an idea as to how dangerous this ruling is to the entire institution of American sports, there are going to be meetings among the other Big XII schools, starting tomorrow.

There is discussion of how to proceed, if to proceed, and even calls for boycotting all Texas Tech sports, if not throwing them out of the Big XII Conference part and parcel -- which I would have to say is about the only real option the other schools probably have not to play Sorsby and the TTU football team.

In fact, the University of Georgia Athletic Director has officially enacted such a boycott.  He will not allow the Bulldogs to play Texas Tech in ANY SPORT.  Nebraska has also boycotted.

But this decision basically opens the door wide open.  I said, last week, on a far lesser case, that there was question as to when the entire situation of college sports as we even know them now just blows up completely.

I think we just got it.  I do believe the concerns are valid -- as it is now basically impossible to enforce, short of FBI-level Federal arrest for sports bribery, athletes who wager on their own teams.

That man needs to be UNEMPLOYABLE in sports, at any level.  He probably needs to be in prison.  And now, barring either someone doing the right thing or deliberately injuring him (take your pick), he's going to be on the field this Fall.

The 2026 Trump Cup Boycott Post

This is the official Super Fraud boycott post of the FIFA 2026 World Cup in North America.

The homophobia and transphobia and murderous nature of FIFA in past World Cup locations would be enough.

But this particular Cup, I call it the Trump Cup for a reason -- and there's a far larger story developing across sports which is going to fold into the boycott post:

The fact that President Pedophile Pigfucker Donald Trump is trying to insert himself into the national culture.

And recent stories indicate that I can come up with at least FIVE DIFFERENT SPORTS in which this is becoming apparent -- and I'm not counting the Trump Transphobe Games in Los Angeles in 2028 on this list:

The first is the recently completed "Enhanced Games" in Las Vegas, NV -- partially financed and supported by the Trump family, led by Cocaine Donald himself, Don Jr.

There are two major problems with what went down at the event:  The first is that only one world record was actually beaten by a steroided athlete:  The 50-meter butterfly.

But that leads directly into the second major problem:  If there's anything apparent, at least to date, that only one world record was actually bested at the event, it indicates the amount of rampant abuse almost certainly under the table across the gamut of the relevant sports (which, for these Games, included track, swimming, and weightlifting).

I have long believed, as one example, that Usain Bolt is barely human at all -- that he is in fact the first successful genetically perfected athlete.  For him to so completely dominate at 100 meters to the point that I actually believe his best time was actually done with him all but pulling up 10 meters before the finish before someone saw something absurd like 9.39 (instead of the 9.58 he actually ran) and started asking real questions -- remembering that the sprints contain some of the most chemically-abusing athletes in the sport...

But if the Enhanced Games, at least the first ones, showed anything, it showed almost certainly how much drugs are still married to even supposedly "legitimate" races.

The second is that Donald Trump is going to go to Madison Square Garden and support his friend James Dolan, owner of the New York Knicks, in his shock (politically rigged???) berth to win an NBA Championship.  He goes to see Game 3 on Monday.  Knicks are up 2-0.

Fans are being told to prepare for a thousand or more security force at Madison Square Garden.

The third is Pigfucker's UFC Birthday, his UFC "Freedom 250" (*SNORK*) card on the lawn of the White House.

And we could add two things to that monstrosity right now, since he's not planning on taking down the cage afterward:

1) Execution chamber/Gladiator Games?  He's already said he wants trained MMA fighters to kill illegal immigrants for entertainment.

2) The ballroom is for the elite to have a protected place to watch and spend money for methods, in the style of The Purge?

The fourth, just down the figurative street, is Jaxson Dart and the introductions he's made of Trump, much to the chagrin of some of his team's fans.

Be real, people:  Many people are trying to position themselves in the political realities of sports and entertainment, with President Pigfucker being the centerpiece -- perhaps kingmaker.

And that gets to the fifth and final different sport of this, and his 2026 magnum opus:  The FIFA Peace Prize Donald Trump Cup, as known to the rest of the world as The 2026 Men's FIFA World Cup.

Fuck the World Cup.

Fuck FIFA.

Fuck Trump.

Etc. and so forth and so on.

If there's any way he can get himself named the champion of the 2026 Men's FIFA World Cup, he will do so.  There's obviously believability in both literal and figurative senses to this, but this could end up stinking far worse than the last two did!

So how much longer before college sports completely goes blammo with the legalized gambling?

Not this just-past year, but last year before it, Alabama State HAD won it's first NCAA Tournament game in men's basketball history.

That win will be revoked.

For $500 a person, apparently.

The FBI has contacted the NCAA and stated the 2024-25 team's top three scorers and a reserve were paid $2,000 to throw a game (result and spread) to Southern Mississippi.

How many more before we get the explosion, and we find out that national championships and the like were also thrown?

Tanking in the NBA clouds a very prescient reality the NBA can't admit for it's financial future...

One of the largest topics in the recent NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles was the continuing losing battle the NBA is fighting with "tanking" -- the practice of teams deliberately resting players to ostensibly lose games to improve their position in the NBA Draft the following season.

Adam Silver has actually now gone as far as possibly considering revoking draft picks (and he's not going to be able to do anything unless they are first-round draft picks in that regard), because he knows the fines, including a $500,000 fine applied to the Utah Jazz -- calling their violations of player participation "conduct detrimental to the league".

So how much does Mark Cuban get fined for saying today the NBA should accept and embrace tanking, in the name of the fans? 

Why the NBA should embrace tanking -

The NBA has kate been misguided thinking that fans want to see their teams compete every night with a chance to win. It’s never been that way that way.

When I got into the nba, they thought they were in the basketball business. They…

— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) February 17, 2026

Then you have a problem, Mr. Cuban.  A huge one.

The moment a fan can discern that every effort is not being made to win the game in progress, that fan is being financially and emotionally harmed by continuing to take part in the experience.  

Sometimes that is a night-to-night thing:  There are certainly games where almost every team is a substantial underdog or is seen that it is unlikely that they would win the given game.  This is understandable.

This is, however, a different process.  It is the deliberate understanding that the team is setting out to just survive the game, not get it's players injured for a game that it is not worth enough for them (micro or macro) to win.

At that point, why does a fan bother paying to see it?  And, writ larger, why do teams which continue to lose year after year after year be considered allowed to call themselves "professional" teams in the top-tier league?

Let's get some realities on "paper" here:

1) There are too many teams.

2) There are too many games.

3) There are too few players of sufficient "professional" caliber to support the number of teams or games that the league is bilking players, television partners, and corporate sponsors out of.

The fact is:  All four major professional leagues, in every idea except financial bottom line (which is why it won't be done) would do better either folding 25% of the teams or going promotion-relegation.

Make "professional", and top-tier professional at that, be earned.  You do it for the players -- why not force the same on the franchises?

The fact is (and it should've been demonstrated with the Foolish and Wretched One-Dimensional Ballhog, the National Bulls Broadcasting Company, and the National Bulls Association in the 1990's) that there aren't enough players to justify the existence of the number of professional teams in the top leagues in any of the major sports.

As a result, you are seeing pressures put on the NBA franchises to play top-flight players in the national televised games -- and it still doesn't help.

The fact is, there are just too many damn teams and no justification for a number of them to continue to exist.  And, in extreme cases, you get what happens in the NBA.

4) There is no legal ramification against a league fixing the games -- if Adam Silver really wants to prevent "tanking", he's going to have to state that it is an action outside of the league's allowed purview with respect to the manipulation of the contest's result, and punish accordingly.

5) It is of no secret that the games cost far too much money to attend, and that goes double when there's no assurance on the part of the two teams to actually provide a marketable contest.  

A fan can't recover for even a "tanked" game, just as he or she can't recover for a rigged one (only entitled to a seat and a result -- 2005 US Grand Prix lawsuit).  To actually provide the kind of fan experience Cuban wants, this MUST change, by any and all means necessary.

6) The games need to be believed to be on the level, because there's no way the tanking teams even believe the games are on the level -- much as many fans are basically certain the games are not.

If Adam Silver wants to prevent tanking, he has to take the following steps:

A) He has to basically admit the NBA (as the other professional sports have) has openly manipulated the games for their own benefit, financial and otherwise.  And that this process must stop.  The games must be officiated according to the rules and all efforts (including result reversal) must be on the table to ensure that what takes place on the court is the only factor which leads to the result.

B) He has to open the door to removal of teams.  This will probably never happen as organically or on a scale which needs to happen (see above), but the only way he's going to truly be able to prevent teams from tanking games is to put the nuclear option on the table -- once other means to improve fan experience and trust in the product are enacted.

In short, bad franchises need to die. 

C) The fact that teams with incompetent/lazy/greedy ownership can still advance through the ranks needs to be ended.  I'm about 70-80% toward getting rid of the NBA Draft entirely, and that can be a means in which bad franchises can rot and die.  At the barest of minimum, we need to get rid of the the worst team getting the best chance at the one or few relevant draft players. 

D) He needs to recognize that there will be games in which players need to be rested for their health and safety. 

Massive spot-fixing situation in Major League Baseball?

As people know, former Cleveland pitcher Emmanuel Clase is under indictment for spot-fixing pitches in various Major League games.

Now, we get an idea of at least an extent to the charges.  Documents today pulled by ESPN state that Clase, over the two-year period alleged that Clase is being indicted for, rigged pitches in no less than a quarter of the games he appeared.

In the period, Clase is now believed to have rigged pitches in at least 48 of the 197 games in which he appeared.

Three-time All-Star...

Best relief pitcher in the American League twice. 

$2 million in 2023, the first alleged year.

$2.9 million in 2024.

$4.9 million he would've been paid in 2025, with three more years, including two club options that would've gotten him $26,000,000 thereafter.

All for bettors in the Dominican Republic to win about a half million dollars, as currently alleged.

On top of suspended during COVID for 80 games for the substance policy.

I would not be out of line to start asking questions about not only his entire career, but how many games he has openly thrown as a Major League pitcher.

And then the real questions:  Why?  And who was being threatened to ensure compliance?? 

And, apparently, we have coparticipation...

I want you to watch the play at 41 seconds of this video -- the blocked field goal that sealed New England's win...

Tell me that long-snapper wasn't given instruction to "completely whiff the block"... 

Well well... Is CJ Stroud taking care of business?

(Writing this partially just after halftime.  If the Texans win this, you never see it...)

Well, do we have our answer as to how Patriots Are Champions (even if they beat the shit out of their girlfriends like Donald Trump does his wife Ivanka).

CJ Stroud has thrown four interceptions in the first half of a 21-10 halftime deficit for his Texans to the Patriots.

Let's pull up the video, courtesy NFL Interceptions:

Here's the first one.  Threw it only where the defender could get it.

Stroud with an overthrow. Great play by Carlton Davis pic.twitter.com/dxfmpO46Aa

Second one's a Pick Six and it's blatant:

Stroud just throws it up while under pressure. Sometimes it’s better to take the sack, here’s a perfect example of that.

Leads to a Pats pick-6 pic.twitter.com/1UT2yZsEvp

— NFL Interceptions (@interceptnfl) January 18, 2026

Third one is an overthrow through the hands, so it looks like the receiver probably "helped" on this one:

This one is not Stroud’s fault. Hutchinson has to catch this, he had two hands on it.

Regardless, this is Stroud’s 3rd interception of the first half. Oof. pic.twitter.com/qXPUBLQKdM

— NFL Interceptions (@interceptnfl) January 18, 2026

With a side of ejection-level spearing on the hit.

And here's the fourth -- covered man, never should've thrown the ball, and he's lucky that wasn't caught in stride or that's a Pick Six too:

CJ Stroud with a full on disaster performance. His 4th interception of the first half. (3 his fault, 1 not his fault).

Carlton Davis gets his 2nd interception here pic.twitter.com/iaES1bXTw9

— NFL Interceptions (@interceptnfl) January 18, 2026

And yep, in the rain, the second half was never an issue.  Patriots win, 28-16.

CJ Stroud threw the game, probably because they couldn't go through with another obvious officiating problem with the league rapidly running out of options.   

It's legal when the leagues do it -- it's not legal when the players do it...

And the players, even current ones, are too stupid to see this.

20 players in the last three seasons (including four that have played in the last WEEK!) are among almost 40 people indicted today in Federal court on sports bribery and match fixing.

The four include the preseason Conference USA player of the year -- the player forecast to be the best player in the conference THIS SEASON, Keenesaw State's Simeon Cottle, who has been thrown off the team.

None of the alleged incidents involve games of this college basketball season, but at least 20 players are said to have thrown games in the last two before it. 

The price is alleged to be $10,000-$30,000 per game to throw the games. 

Had a feeling the Justin Tucker thing would rear it's ugly head...

Just didn't think it would do it so obviously.

This set up right like the old NFL script:

• A listless 13-10 after three quarters -- 27 in the fourth.
• Touchdown passes of 50 and 64 yards for Lamar Jackson put the Steelers behind the 8-ball twice.  Never mind that Jackson only had about 120 yards passing otherwise.
• Steelers get the ball back, down four, so they must score a touchdown in 2:20 with no timeouts.
• They do so -- BUT they miss the extra point, so a Ravens field goal wins the game, not ties it.

The NFL is the new WWE. Zero wind on this kick (Orange flags still as can be) and the kick goes that right??? Hmmm 🤔 #Rigged #Ravens #Steelers https://t.co/k6ZHXKOOPo

— Love! (@Sixth_Paths) January 5, 2026

• And wouldn't you know it...  Last play of the regular season is for the division title from 44 yards (never mind that they had the timeouts to manipulate the clock for at least one shot at the end zone, or for Derrick Henry to take a few yards off the kick).
• This was the result, from Justin Tucker's replacement, Tyler Loop...

And the Ravens kicker, Tyler Loop, misses the game winning field goal in the same end zone the priest was seen blessing with holy water. The @Steelers are AFC North Champs pic.twitter.com/vrBVBohGA7

— SFI (@SFI412724) January 5, 2026

He Vanderjagts it.  And just as intentionally.

Here's another one to show how the NFL manipulates not only games, but the rhetoric...

Final play of Steelers-Lions.  Lions are down 4 and must get a touchdown to win, and they appear like they are going to do so, especially with two major Steeler penalties on the drive.

A pass is thrown near the end zone, but caught in the field of play, and the player is about to be stopped, but then laterals the ball to the Lions quarterback, who dives into the end zone for the winning score.

Or does he?

After significant discussion, a flag which had been thrown is revealed to be offensive pass interference, and the Lions fans are having a cow.

When you see this video and the blatant nature of the OPI, not only was it the correct call, but you have to believe Amon Ra-St. Brown was in on it.

Why?  Who's the quarterback for the Steelers again?

 

Do YOU believe this was OPI on Amon-Ra St. Brown on the final play of the game? 🤔#OnePride pic.twitter.com/14w8mMFeck

After Further Review: Puka screws the Rams, and it sounds like he's not finished...

Hey Puka Nacua:  Care to shut up yet?

We got a LOT to unpack here.  

Let's start before the big officiating to-do...

Earlier in the game (and I can't tell which from the video), the Rams were forced to settle for a field goal after THIS was called Ineligible Man Downfield after a Rams touchdown:

TOUCHDOWN RAMS!!

Wait… illegal man downfield?

Where??

Sean McVay is PISSED

Terry McAuley ref expert says this is NOT a penalty

What is going on in the NFL????

— John Frascella (Football) (@NFLFrascella) December 19, 2025

At best, that's ticky-tack.  The lineman is clearly engaged until just a moment before the ball is thrown and has no time to re-legalize himself.

It's 30-16 in the fourth to the Rams, and the Seahawks get a punt return for a touchdown.  And this looks like it was pretty much given too!

TRENDING: #NFL fans are calling for iconic broadcaster Al Michaels to RETIRE after he did not show any emotion on a massive punt return touchdown.

😬😬😬

You would think he is calling a 35-7 game… Not the biggest game of the season.

Here's the touchdown that ended up tying the game.  See if you notice the same thing I did...

That gets it to 30-28.

Here's the 2-point conversion everyone is talking about...

Upon further review, its two, in the most unimaginable play possible: pic.twitter.com/NgglJYU4Nl

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 19, 2025

The booth reviewed it. It WAS a lateral.

There's another problem, though.  They BLEW THE PLAY DEAD, and the review basically reversed the entire situation and awarded the two points!!

From the NFL Rulebook, Rule 7-2-o  (Emphasis DTByrd):

That ball is dead and they have to replay the try upon a review that the pass was actually backward.  There is NO AUTHORITY at that point to allow the play to complete and award the two points.

Those two points directly tied the game and sent it to overtime.

Edit to Add 3:15 PM PDT 12/19:  The NFL, however, claims the officials DO have the right to so award, by another (contradictory) rule:  15-2-3, Awarding Possession, says they CAN do it.  But people have also pointed out that, due to the Holy Roller Rule (8-7-6), any fumble on a try can only be recovered by the player who had the ball last -- in this case, the quarterback... 

The Rams scored a touchdown and got the kick to go up 37-30, but the Seahawks, under the new overtime rules, get the ball.  They drive the field for the touchdown, and you all see what's coming...

Last play: Seahawks two-point conversion in OT for the win.

That was not only a rigged game by the referees, but the Rams were acting on league orders to throw the game.  And if you're a Rams fan today, you can thank Puka Nacua for ALL OF IT.

Puka Nacua opened his mouth again on the officials after last night's game -- and if the Rams want to have any kind of a season left they can be proud out, the NFL has sent a clear message: Suspend or CUT the guy.

All Hell Is Breaking Loose...

Just in the last couple of days:

• Michigan football coach Sherone Moore was fired for an affair with a staffer.
• Then arrested when he went to her house and threatened to kill them both.  He's now in protective custody.
• Now word the university knew of his mental-health condition.  Oh, that's gotta be a great look for a football program already on the ropes after the other garbage which got revealed.    
• Knowing this, they still fired Moore 1-on-1 -- no security, no HR person present to guard against a possible physical retaliation.
• Warde Manuel, the Michigan Athletic Director, is almost-certainly going to be fired, but present reports indicating he has appear, as of the time of this writing, to be false.

Elsewhere:

• The situation is so bad in Indianapolis that Philip Rivers has been plucked out of retirement (at 44!) to QB the team.  This should be the end of all Colin Kaepernick speculation, once and for all.
• We have another college athlete ensnared in the previously-reported betting scandal.  Marcus Williams of the University of San Francisco should be arrested soon.  The NCAA has reported he apparently provided material betting information to already-proved gambling involvement Mykell Robinson for at least nine games last season.
• But the worse news for the NCAA and for what's left of college-pro sports is something ESPN deliberately chose to bury:  There are investigations either in progress or completed against athletes from Western Michigan, Dayton, Eastern Kentucky, and Wisconsin.  If you are paying some of the players, then you also open the door that if certain players aren't getting paid enough to keep the games fair then -- like video games -- they won't.  
• When is Grayson Allen finally going to be run out of basketball?
• A Federal lawsuit between NASCAR and at least two of their charter organizations regarding monopoly status of the sport has been settled, late in the process.  No terms released. 
• Outside of sports:  Five European countries say they will no longer take part in the Eurovision Song Contest as long as Israel is allowed to continue to compete, for obvious reasons.
• The 2024 winner, Swiss singer Nemo, has also renounced his victory and returned his trophy.
• If people think the politicization of everything is bad now, you just wait... 
• The House of Representatives, as part of a military bill, has passed a provision banning outside drone technology from American sporting events.

Shut down all Daily Fantasy prop bets. NOW.

Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase have both been indicted for spot fixing in Brooklyn today.

Two games in June, each paid $5000 each for Ortizto throw an intentional ball in one game, $7000 in another.

It is time for Federal authorities to close down all prop-bet Daily Fantasy, because if you think that's the extent of it...

According to Spotrac:  Ortiz was being paid about $800,000.   Clase?  $4.9 million.

There is ZE and RO chance this doesn't involve full-out game-rigging.  This is just what they have so far.

But please tell me why I should believe otherwise when you literally have a pitcher (Clase) making $5 mil a year on a MASSIVE contract throwing it all away for $12,000...  And he was gonna make $6.4 million this year with two $10 million club options

MLB, you got more to find -- a LOT MORE, and that's just on these two. 

Edit to add 7:35 PM PST:   Now word is they've found suspicious patterns dating back three seasons! 

NOW we have grounds for a Federal investigation (NCAA)...

The NCAA has banned six players, at least five players from two schools for open-faced match-fixing.

Three players from New Orleans and two from Mississippi Valley State have been banned for throwing games.  The New Orleans players allegedly threw or attempted to throw no less than SEVEN contests, while the NCAA has found the Mississippi Valley State players openly offered money to throw one game and at least one discussing throwing a second.

And again, what I say often has to apply here:  It is completely legal for the NCAA and the conferences and the like to fix games.  It is a Federal crime to do what has been found here.

A sixth player, from Arizona State, was found to have simply shared inside information.

Another side effect of the rise of gambling and of college sports going professional:  If the players aren't paid enough to keep the games honest, they won't.
