News is circulating online that former Kentucky player, current Ohio State player, Aaron Bradshaw is being investigated by the FBI as part of a widespread point shaving scandal in college basketball. Not good for the sport, especially after Temple was just announced to being investigated by the FBI as well.

Yep. I’ve never been a fan of legalizing sports gambling. I think it’s one of the few things that can actually impact the integrity of the sport. I fully believe we’re going to look back 10 years from now and see how the accessibility of online sports gambling through mobile apps is probably going to lead to a mental health and addiction crisis in the U.S. We won’t be able to judge for awhile, but I have so many friends I know first hand gambling on games every weekend. Some of them are able to do it healthily, some I worry about.

Like most vices, it's always been available to those who really sought it out. But like most vices, making it readily available, legal, and socially acceptable, it will lead to destruction for some who'd have never likely been exposed to it if it were never made so easily accessible.

And some can handle it. There are people that drink everyday and manage to stop at 1 or 2 drinks.

Gambling is the least of your vices...lol

I stop if one of my bet losses then I’ll take the rest of the night off and the next day.

I only place two bets daily. A long shot and an easier one.

Fantastic win. Hell of a first half. Second half, a little rough, but it gives Barnes something to teach this week. Baylor was also allowed to basically mug us, so that probably contributed to some of the sloppy play.

Honestly, perfect start to the year. Not only because we’re 6-0 but how we’ve played. Time to get ready for Syracuse.

We're only going to see more of this given the ever increasing amount of online betting.

Been kinda MIA on here to start the season. Just got to watch the Baylor game this am. What a great start. 6 games in and we’re playing elite team ball on both sides. Chaz has been great, but we have 4 guys that could go out and get you 20 on any given night. Toss in there the injuries we’ve battled and it’s scary to think how good this team could be by March. Keep building and stay healthy!
