ESPN has a story up about the $7M Texas Tech pays their defensive line.

How it came about reads like the NFL, which it basically is since NIL.

NIL and gambling are killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

Absolutely true, and it was easy to predict. We're just now starting to hear about a few gambling scandals, but it is probably already a deep, pervasive problem set to undermine American sports.

Is it safe to say that these players have earned permanent banishment from the NBA?

There have been some sports journalists on the fringes pursuing the gambling in sports issues for decades.

We can add this to the list of conspiracy theories that became conspiracy facts.

You may find this interesting.
What happens when you combine "Goodfellas" with college basketball? You get "Playing for the Mob," the story of how mobster Henry Hill -- played by Ray Liotta in the 1990 Martin Scorsese classic -- helped orchestrate the fixing of Boston College basketball games in 1978 and 1979. The details of that point-shaving scandal are revealed for the first time on film through the testimony of the players, the federal investigators and the actual fixers,

Cedquavious and Dyquavian...I’m surprised they don’t have apostrophes somewhere in their names.
