re: Interesting perspective on the refs from the inside

FWIW, I heard someone who may or may not be associated with professional gambling say that college sports are notorious for having people paid off here and there. Refs and kickers in particular. Look at the dollars involved and ask yourself if people would always leave that to pure chance. Not my opinion, just what I was told. Numerous sports figures have been caught gambling. Taking bribes is one step away, and the leagues often try to bury this when it surfaces.
