summersivan+FollowBuffalo rocked by college basketball point-shaving scandalShocking news for Buffalo hoops fans: multiple former UB men’s basketball players have been indicted for allegedly fixing games last season.

The scheme reportedly stretched across 17 Division I programs, raising serious questions about the integrity of college sports. With players allegedly texting about getting paid and recruiting teammates, it’s hard not to wonder how deep this problem goes. How should schools and leagues protect the game—and fans—from this kind of corruption? #Sports #Basketball #Buffalo00Share
