Bribery Scandal Players Claim Still Cut It For Teams
Two of ten college basketball players admit taking payments from gambler Aaron Wagman yet say they gave their best efforts for their teams. Mississippi State star Jerry Graves admits wrong in taking money but asserts no on-court gains. St Joseph's captain Jack Egan and teammates Frank Majewski and Vince Kempton say they chose to play straight in a game against Xavier after accepting $1000 each to lose by more than nine. Egan notes the loss still occurred and cites personal financial pressures and his wife’s miscarriage.
