The university of Toledo point shaving scandal around 2005 involved some guys that I believe had some Detroit Mob connections

Providence ends up winning the national championship. I think the next year, a couple of players were kicked out of the program for gambling. Something just seemed fishy to that whole thing.
How much you lose?
Haha! I'm too cheap for that. Starting rumors online is much more affordable 8-)

Here's Michael Franzese talking about fixing games. It's something he's brought up several times over the years so I'm inclined to believe he's telling the truth.

In short, it's not unheard of but it's rare.

The book Wiseguy goes much further into it. In Goodfellas Maury just mentions it before Pesci gets him with the ice pick.

There was also the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary about it. One of the players was a criminal minded piece of shit who more than met Hill and the mobsters half way, but the others were just roped into it with desperation and being broke. Felt bad hearing their stories.

Yep.


People connected to the Genovese family were busted back in 2005 for doping horses to influence the outcome of races.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they were able to fix low level Division 1 college hoops here in Jersey and NY, wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

I highly doubt that any NBA refs are mobbed up, but the refs this year have been absolutely atrocious
