I know this topic is rather off-topic, but I have been reading how games can be rigged. Not that the players know about it, they have their suspicious, but ultimately its on the ref's and coaches. Just wanted to get your thoughts.

I don't think so, but honestly it wouldn't be a total shocker.

When there is money at stake, there will always be corruption.

Yeah, I'm sure Pennington and Henne's injuries were staged too!

It's not that hard to do.

Yes, too much money at stake. Not every game but I would say the Pitt game was, too much money went one way.

I'm not a big conspiracy guy but I wouldn't be surprised if it were proven that some of the games were rigged, not one bit.

I wouldn't dismiss the possibility. All you'd have to do is get to a ref and have that ref spread it to other refs he can trust. Once one guy in a position takes a bribe, you've got him forever because then the bribers can intimidate him with the fear of exposure or worse.

im not gonna say that games are rigges, but ask me if i think ref's or coaches have some side bets on the line to make some more cash and i would almost certainly agree in that possibility.

"It's been fun to get the reaction of visiting coaches to the color of their locker room. Most don't notice it, but those that do are in trouble. . . . When I talk to an opposing coach before a game and he mentions the pink walls, I know I've got him. I can't recall a coach who has stirred up a fuss about the color and then beat us.” Hayden Fry
