ASU Point Shaving Scandal

[venom lyrix]

Im doing a case study on this event that happened in the early part of the 90's. Im curious if anyone remembers it and what kind of atmosphere did collegebasketball have after it. I know my basketball program has to watch the dvd about this situation every year as a message. What were your thoughts on thissituation

I remember espn put out a movie a few years back on this. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299535/ maybe thatcan help if you get the dvd.

My thoughts then are the same as they are now, it's happening more than people think. All it takes are a few missed shots here and there, or a fumble atthe right time and business goes on as usual. Kickers, point guards, running backs and quarterbacks have the most control over the outcomes of games in termsof players. Obviously the coach is the master manipulator. A little birdie, who has connections to the Penn ST football team told me some "funny"stuff was going on with the team right now. Not saying I believe it, but you see some things happen, that make you go hmmm.

They're gonna have to try real hard to throw a game with that cupcake schedule they got.

I can see point shaving though.

i highly doubt that anyone would just be blatantly talking about it.....if they are doing "funny" stuff.... they wouldnt be dumb enoughto just go tell random people....so im officially calling DUCKTALES....
