Has Integrity Become a Thing of the Past?

from BLEAV Sports with Fred and The Fantastics · host PodClips

Fred, Art, Laura, and Mark question the direction of sports as college basketball confronts an integrity crisis involving 17 schools and 20 players in a game-fixing scandal. How did casinos accept $300,000 wagers on obscure games without triggering alarms? When leagues profit from gambling advertisements, can they credibly punish athletes for participating? The NFL playoffs are down to the final eight teams, with Buffalo emerging as a Super Bowl contender. Will Josh Allen finally break through against Denver's defense? Could rookie Drake Maye's inexperience doom New England against Houston? And is a Bears’ milestone in reach for Caleb Williams?
