Point Shaving

I think that it is a tragedy to see many college students participating in gambling. This is difficult for athletes because pay is not paid, and in the case of shaving, it is difficult to resist some thousands of dollars and win only a part. When I saw the movie "Blue Chips" on illegal college gambling and athletes coming to school, there was a scene involving coaches and point guards three years ago.

CCNY noted scanning scandal - in 1951 more than 30 players from seven schools participated in the point shaving program related to organized crime. That scandal was most closely related to the city college in New York. Several key players played in the school's 1949 - 50 years team, and won the NCAA tournament and NIT in that season. Southern Methodist University Football Scandal - In 1986, the Southern Methodist University Booster revealed that he provided thousands of dollars to soccer players and had knowledge of university managers. Due to a series of NCAA violations so far, NCAA has balanced the "capital punishment" of the school football team.

Point shaving is always one of the biggest problems in illegal activities and university sports. In many cases college basketball players were caught or accused of a shaving point. Last year 's recent incident that Northwest' s basketball player caught on a shaving point. Players will fall into this illegal act because they want or need more money. Troubled players are easy to accept gifts and razors

Brian Gumbel of "Real Sports" who hit in HBO said that he is the best among youth stories, he studied the razor at NAIA University. He is the center of the basketball team and he talks about how to shave the score. He missed the layup at the game and got a small rebound so he only spent a thousand dollars per game. Since he is only in NAIA, he really had no chance to enter the NBA. The $ 1,000 he earned was truly useful in his head. These are the temptations of young student athletes in today's society. The government needs to enact new laws so that the integrity of the game will not be lost forever.
