An assistant coach and two players are the University of San Diego have been charged with running a sports betting business to affect the outcome of games. In layman terms; they shaved points.
One of the players was Brandon Johnson, who is the school's all-time leader in points and assists.
Hey, I don't mind this. It's a small school, which nobody cares about. Why not shave points and make some money? It's not like they were going to win the Big Dance, or even come close to getting it at that. They best player on the team is the perfect candidate. He is going to have his hands on the ball most of the game. Fuck it, why not miss an open jumper at the end of the game to win by 7 instead of 9. Let the other team hang around and cash in on that shit.
There is no doubt in my mind that this goes on in other schools, especially small schools like San Diego. Good thing I never even thought about looking at a San Diego game or I'd be pissed if I dropped a dime and lost it because this mother fucker was shaving.
Some people are saying that because of this, they should ban gambling. That is a load of horse shit and will never happen. From Vegas, to local bookies, to online gambling websites, people are making a shit ton of cash. Banning gambling will only cause problems for the government because people will still bet. Legal, illegal, people don't give a shit. They wanna drop a few hundred bucks on a meaningless NBA game that's on TNT at 10 o'clock when they don't have shit to do. Do yourselves a favor and don't try to make it illegal, you'll only give yourself a headache.
The only problem I have with this is that it didn't somehow leak to me while it was going in. Fuck, could have cashed in on that shit.
