3. Oh hell yes

the opening of online betting has opened the flood gates to corruption of College and Pro sports.........
Includes players, coaches, and referees all having the ability to fix games, or at least "shave" points.....
AND the betting organizations, and Las Vegas.........

In 1996?1997? it was reported that the top five NHL refs in the playoffs and Stanley cup were fired for throwing games. It was all hushed up, but truly happened......It was speculated that the refs were paid to break up the Avalanche and Red Wing Dynasties, in order to get more of the newest southern teams in the playoffs, and increase the poor attendance at the new southern teams..
As I recall, there was also a big problem with the ice in those new southern teams arenas. The humid warm conditions were effecting the ice, such that those teams all had the advantage in home games, since they were all used to playing on the crappy ice........ They were all ordered to install de-humidifiers in their arenas..
