easy $- fair point. I was talking about the fact that they claimed ignorance and dissassociated themselves from Bomar and the booster, the same way the NBA can always claim ignorance and dissassociate themselves from dirty refs.

Also, Larry Brown Sports did a pretty good post where he points out specific games that were almost surely fixed. All ref'ed by Donaghy, all involving a heavy underdog beating the spread, and all with HUGE foul and free throw disparities in favor of the underdog. (One game had a FTA disparity of 47-6!)

You didn't even point out the strangest part of the story. Donaghy told these allegations to league and federal investigators last July, and no one followed up on it! The feds have an excuse (apparently the statute of limitations is 5 years), but why didn't Stern order a full investigation last year? He was praised in the press for being pro-active when the Donaghy bombshell first became public, so he should be crucified in the media now.

I agree with you, other than the "similar" situation at Oklahoma. Oklahoma kicked Bomar off of the team and then told the NCAA what it had done. This is exactly the other way around.

It would have been a lot more "similar" had the NCAA came to the school and told them they had reports of misconduct and then the program kicked him off the team and claimed ignorance.
