On Tuesday, UH announced it had called HPD’s attention to an anonymous letter alleging that unnamed members of the warrior squad had played poorly in several games either this season or prior, in order to affect the point spreads…a huge no-no both legally and under NCAA guidelines.
HPD though, also sent out a release Tuesday saying there was not enough information to call for a criminal investigation.
At practice Wednesday morning, UH football coach Greg McMackin had little to say regarding the allegations of point-shaving within his program.
Meanwhile the NCAA chimed in.
"We are extremely concerned by the point-shaving allegations involving University of Hawaii football student-athletes and have been in contact with the school since early November….we take any allegation of point shaving very seriously."
There is no word on whether the University of Hawaii or the NCAA will conduct a separate investigation so, as it stands…the issue is "idle."
Warriors though, are not. They host Tulane this Saturday.
