Jesus! New Yorkers really are sensitive about race and religion. Clearly, the Jews and the "schwarzes" who played for CCNY, LIU, and other New York schools were good, so why didn't they shut the frig up and let their playing do their talking. People get it! We know who the assholes are. Same today. Blacks keep pissing and moaning about how racist whites are yet a vast majority of whites could give a shit less what color and religion others are. Keep up the whining and damn sure you'll have the white devils all over your ass again! What was the name of that black guy who got beat up by the LAPD officers and what'd he say? "Can't we all just getting along?"

I played competitive sports in school and there is no possible way I could go out and do what these kids did. No way. You play hard every single second. There is no way I'm letting up no matter the money. Now if they want to offer me money to play better maybe. If I'm hurtin for money. I can't say that would be tough.

Awesome documentary! Only solidifies that in this day and age, and the past 30 or 40 years, should have, and should pay the players. I remember watching the Men's Basketball Championship game a few years ago, and one of the announcers said the budget for the NCAA was $775,000.000 dollars. Do they believe that we fans think college sports is legit? The hypocrisy makes these games today, and the past 30-40 years, at times, laughable. We are not this stupid! The NCAA, the body of college sports, is stupid! Bosworth was right: NCAA, National Communist Against Athletes!

One of the best documentaries I seen in a long time. I was born in 1981 and always heard about this, and as a college basketball fan since 1993 I always wondered why NYC was never in the midst of college basketball greatness and now I see why. A part of me is saying good for them for getting caught but another part feel bad for them. These young players did a stupid thing, but we all have at their age. Its just sad that they had to live with this stain for the rest of their lives. God rest their souls

In 35 years of following sports I’ve never heard of this story before. Kudos to Junius Kellog for doing the right and brave thing, after college he’d go onto serve in the military and then become a member of the Harlem Globetrotters until an accident left him paralyzed. He coached paralympic basketball teams to gold medals, and worked tirelessly in support of disabled veterans, received an honorary doctorate of law from manhattan college, and was inducted to the wheelchair basketball and Virginia sports hall of fame. A great man who I was happy to learn of today.

There's a new, excellent book by Matthew Goodman about CCNY and the point-shaving scandal. The title of the book is "The City Game: Triumph, Scandal, and a Legendary Basketball Team." It focuses particularly on the lives of players and lifelong friends Eddie Roman, Ed Warner, and Floyd Layne. There's also a great deal of interesting backstory about the investigations into point-shaving and how New York politics played a role in determining who was, and who WASN'T, targeted for investigation.

@@lakers0910111 A bit of unwritten history: the deemphasis on basketball in NY, and maybe some unresolved questions about St. Johns players' involvement in point-shaving and favorable treatment by investigators, coach Frank Maguire may have found it convenient to leave St. Johns for the University of North Carolina, thus spawning the historic rise of Tar Heels basketball. The five starters for UNC in their championship year of 1957 were all New Yorkers who would most likely have stayed in NY if the point-shaving scandal had not been exposed.

What I hate is that John Thompson of Georgetown got accused of racism, by saying that he wasn't going to back down when his team was going get into a fight and wasn't going to tone down who he was because he was a big black man, but Adolf Rupp openly admitted that he would never recruit a black player and history seems to forget that...smh.

Rupp was a successful coach in a region where segregation was legally enforced. That is, he had no choice early in his career. When he DID have a choice (after segregation ended), he began recruiting some black players. When Rupp was a high school coach in Illinois, he had some black players on his team. The idea that Rupp was some super racism is a bunch of detritus, and it's awfully rich how these elderly boys from CCNY like to spread these stories about UK's supposed sins when they're the ones who got involved with the mob. And, no, I'm not remotely a UK fan.
