College basketball player under federal investigation for allegedly fixing games

I remember when this happened last year and they stopped betting on at least 2 Temple games. Dude will do some hard time or sing like a canary and risk his life later on against some criminal organization I’d say.
 
That was a great documentary. Did you watch Bad Sport about Arizona State point fixing or Untold: operation Flagrant foul?
Yup that’s the one I was talking about . I couldn’t think of the name .

Starts out allowing you to just win by 7 or 8 pts. That had to somewhat feel innocent to a player back then .

But ends up wanting you to lose a game for your team . You’re far too deep into it by that point .

Yeah that was a damn good documentary. Easiest way for non superstar recruits to make money back then.

And for those saying it may not be point shaving because Bradshaw isn't a guard and can't influence as easy. He absolutely can. Missed FTs, fouls to send other team to the line or offensive fouls to create a TO, other TOs, etc are all previous examples of point shaving in the past.

I hope it's not for a lot of reasons. The primary being Bradshaw could face federal prison time. Wire fraud is no joke folks, and the FBI don't play when it comes to it.
 
It just always felt like he threw that game in 2015 against Wisconsin. He probably didn’t (I hope) but I wouldn’t be blown away to find out he did.
Do you have a single fact to back up that wild and serous charge against a Wildcat great. I hope you do sir, because if not what you've said is UNACCEPTABLE

Years ago I read an article - I believe it was in Sports Illustrated - about player who got involved in point shaving. He said the thing is, you don’t have to allow your team to lose, you don’t even have to lower your own output. All you really have to do is give whoever you’re guarding an extra foot or so of space. He claimed once you do that, most college players will show an immediate improvement and that’s how you manage the spread - not by scoring less, but by allowing the other team to score easily enough to stay within the spread.
