    Syracuse Point Shaving Scandal

    Uh oh, this doesn't look good:

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/5...having-scandal

    Looking at the box scores, it does look like some Syracuse shots failed to go in right when they could have covered some spreads...all speculation for now though

    Inside sources with ESPN are planning on breaking something tomorrow. Just something to keep an eye out for.

    Sounds like rubbish.

    Big time college universities pay their players too much, for them to want to fuk up a good thing.

    Don't know if this has any validity to it or not, but I am a big Syracuse fan. From what I have read, this reporter may have fukked himself. Covers.com is reporting the story originated or broke at a poker website and at this Andy Adamson's twitter and facebook - of which he has since removed the posts. Sounds like it was all based on rumor ... great reason to post a story on the Internet about it. I hope that guy gets fried and if I'm Boeheim, that dude is banned from my locker room and from the Carrier Dome.

    Come on guys. Of course teams and players shave points it will never stop. You truly have to be looked at as a certified idiot if you believe this doesn't happen in sports, college or pro.

    Guys, Syracuse has always been a poor jump shooting team, and this year with no Andy Rautins who was like their only good shooter they are even worse. Then again, Boeheim has been known to run a really loose ship, his Academic Progress Rating is below acceptable standards, only major conference program other than Colorado of course to have this.

    Another guy trying to get his name out there by posting BS on a blog. And to think people take sites such as Bleacher Report and Huffington Post as credible is laughable.

    The only thing I will add to the above is what happened in last night's games. Florida is favoured by -4.5 & win by 4. 5-6 seconds left, and Florida misses both free throws to not cover the spread.

    Marshall wins by 1, the spread is Marshall -2.5 and I believe the Marshall player misses both free throws right at the end to screw the cover.

    I am not saying there is any tom foolery going on, but just 2 more examples where the results of a free show affects the spread. I am sure it is college aged kids losing focus OR just not good at free throws, but sometimes you do wonder.

    who knows specifically, but it happens on some level in every sport whether we like it or not (which usually depends on if we're on the right side ) so knowing that, we as cappers/gamblers choose to play these sports anyways in all likelihood having no clue if these events have any pinch of fix in them; its on us. It sucks being on the wrong side of a fix that you couldnt possibly know about, but its also nice when you win and you shouldn't have, but thanks to somebody you don't even know about lining someone else's pockets you do.
