Former ASU players plead guilty to point-shaving scheme
Former Arizona State basketball players Kevin Hedake Smith and Isaac Burton Jr pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sports bribery for shaving points in four home games during the 1993-94 season. They admitted taking payoffs from Benny Silman to fix games against Oregon State, USC, and Washington, with Silman paying $20,000 per game. Federal indictments allege 72 charges against Silman and three others. ASU officials said coaching staff had no knowledge and college personnel cooperated. Burton was playing in Boise while Smith played in France.
