Rumors have been going around that some players on the Syracuse basketball team have been involved in point shaving.
It is believed that Scoop Jardine, Dion Waiters, and James Southerland have been purposely tanking to win bets.
Reports from Newhouse say ESPN will be addressing the issue tomorrow.
Should the rumors be true, the three athletes will face legal charges. The NCAA has a zero tolerance policy on student athletes gambling.
Not to suggest anything, but Jardine's poor play has stood out in the team's recent funk. A career 46% shooter, Jardine has been making only 33% of his shots in his last five games.
Jardine has been vocal on Twitter, asking to be left alone and insisting he plays "for free."
Waiters and Southerland have played poorly as well, and both watched the Marquette game from the bench. Although Waiters may have already been in trouble with coach Boeheim.
More to come as the story develops.
