That's like saying pete rose wasn't a big deal these kids can control the outcome of a game and NCAA rules state you can not bet on college or professional sports

leading scorer can easily control the score.

So just because you like to bet .... means your going to rig your own team... Nice guy. Not everyone who bets is a Cheat.
