Any arrests or news on that? I had forgotten about it until someone made a joke during the AU game last night.

Nothing to this, if they want to look at anything they should have looked at the refs. This involved a home boy and his friends in the Gump.

Can you expound on this? I really never heard the story of what was believed to have happened other than Ward was alleged to have shaved points in a couple of games or that he approached a teammate about it.

The Football team's performance in 2012 must have raised a few eyebrows.

From memory, this started because some guys from the hood in MGM where Varez grew up talked to him about it... He later talked to a teammate who told the coaches... that was it, not a big scandal, in fact no proof that any gambling irregularities on the game occurred. Just some local punks.

For those who want a link or proof, GFY...

Just following the story. It seems like Ward approached Denson with the idea and Denson told the coaches. I think I remember that Denson was suspended for one game while they looked into it the best they could. I don't know if Ward ever did anything as far as shaving is concerned. I doubt they can prove anything one way or another, but Ward approaching Denson with the idea was enough to get him kicked off.

I remember that rumor, but did any of those people ever get arrested? Has anyone been charged? Or has this all just gone away for lack of proof?
