how the gamblers almost killed college basketball

by Charles.

3/5

(24 votes)

The college basketball scandals of 1951 were to basketball what the 1919 Black Sox scandals were to baseball—a loss of innocence, after which the game would be permanently tarnished, its relationship to power and big money firmly established.

In Scandals.

Language: English

EXCELLENT BOOK I KNEW MOST OF THE PLAYERS INVOLVED PERSONALLY AND ENJOYED THE AUTHORS DISCUSSION OF THAT SAD PERIOD IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL.

This is the story of the largely forgotten but enormously significant series of events that almost destroyed college basketball as a major sport in America. In the early 1950s, a host of college basketball players who had fixed the outcome of college games by shaving points in order to beat the point spread and the gamblers who induced them to participate in the scheme were arrested.

This was a great read i almost lived through that era as im 65... used to go to old garden..
