    University of hawaii football being investigated by honolulu police for point shaving

    HONOLULU -- The Honolulu Police Department is looking into allegations of point shaving by a member or members of the Unversity of Hawaii Warriors football program, sources said.

    Point shaving happens when one or more members of a sports team prevent a team from covering a published point spread, often purposely failing to score as many points as the team was expected to make. Gamblers who know the information in advance can win extra money by betting on the team that was not expected to do as well but does better as a result of point shaving.

    The HPD case is in its initial phases, a source familiar with the probe said. The source asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

    UH spokeswoman Lynne Waters released a statement Tuesday that said:

    "On November 3, 2011, the UH Manoa Office of Admissions received an anonymous letter alleging 'point shaving' by unnamed football players of UH football games."

    "Recognizing the seriousness of these allegations, UH leadership acted promptly and responsibly by immediately alerting the Honolulu Police Department and providing the letter to them."

    "Board of Regents Chair Eric Martinson and President MRC Greenwood met personally with Chief Louis Kealoha to offer UH’s full cooperation with HPD’s inquiry."

    "UH has alerted the NCAA about the anonymous letter and its contents and, in discussions with them, has been informed that it is 'doing exactly what you need to be doing' in this situation," Waters said.

    "We respect the process of the police investigation, therefore UH will not comment further at this point," said Waters in a written statement.

    It's about damn time someone stepped up and questioned this. Hawaii among many other college's pull this crap. Most recently the Hawaii game from 2 weeks ago when the scored 28 points in the 2nd quarter then apparently quit for the rest of the game. That is just one example fresh in my mind but I am aware of many others at Hawaii's football program.

    UNLV crushed Hawaii and pretty much got steamrolled by everyone else. If it is true, I hope Hawaii's football program gets crushed

    This doesn't come as a shock to me, I actually have been fading them starting with the Utah St game and have been saying something isn't right with that team this season.

    The messed up part is the wimp who outed them doesn't state his name and I wouldn't be the least shocked if its a moron bettor (SBR or Covers) who just wasn't smart enough to pick up on it and is just salty he lost money backing this team. It wasn't rocket science figuring this out if you watched any of their games over the past month.

    I'm thinking about going large on Hawaii this week. They may win by 35+ because of the allegations. Although, if they did that, it would look even more fishy...

    Moniz DEF got paid off in the UNLV game I dont care what a single sole says he was paid play as bad as possible and to throw int's. I mean he was throwing the ball to receivers that werent even there.

    Start with Moniz in the investigation and I bet u find alot... Shame b/c program went downhill and FAST since June Jones

    Police, feds, etc. are allowed to lie in the course of their jobs, to an extent. Sources of information can be one of those areas.

    I would be very surprised if they took every anonymous letter seriously, with NO extra info.

    What is more likely (think about it): some criminal snitch on the payroll heard some things, and they protect him as a source by claiming the info was obtained elsewhere.

    Which seems more likely?

    But, anyway, not surprised.

    this year they are 1-6 ATS as faves. The one cover as a fave was the first game. The 5 years prior they were 21-14 as faves. Looks bad. Sucks I didn't catch on though.

    Screw em! I had a few parlays with hawaii when they played utah state. They let utah state score 28 unanswered points.Hawaii was also going for it on 4th down when they were up. I would have had nice amount of money if they didn't pull that stunt.
