CCNY point shaving scandal
The
CCNY point shaving scandal of 1950–51 was a college basketball point shaving
gambling scandal that involved seven schools in all, with four in Greater New
York and three in the Midwest. However, most of the key players in the scandal
were players of the 1949–50 CCNY Beavers men's basketball team.
The
scandal first came to light when New York City District Attorney Frank Hogan
arrested seven men on charges of conspiring to fix games on February 18, 1951.
Those taken into custody included All-America forward Ed Warner, center Ed
Roman, and guard Al Roth, the three stars of the CCNY 1950 National Championship
team. The police had set up an undercover, or "sting", operation. The
arrests were made in Penn Station when the players returned to New York from
Philadelphia.
