I did get a chuckle when I saw the article was from Colorado Springs. Still, it sounds like the USMA confirmed the bulk of the issues.
Me too!

I think they missed on most of these. It is sad this goes on at many colleges.
Always has and always will. My dad was a D1 baskteball 4 year basketball player with St John's University late 40s and early 50s. NYC college basketball in those days was huge. College games would bump the Knicks to smaller arenas. Dad had a lot of friends on all the teams. In those days the gambling that went on with those games would make Las Vegas blush. Some of his friends could not resist the temptations. It had a lasting impact.
The CCNY point shaving scandal of 1950–51 was a college basketball point shaving gambling scandal that involved seven schools in all, with four in Greater New York and three in the Midwest. However, most of the key players in the scandal were players of the 1949–50 CCNY Beavers men's basketball team.
Aftermath
The scandal had long-lasting effects for some of the individuals involved, as well as college basketball itself. Coaches, long after the scandal was over, would warn their players what could happen to their lives if they chose to make some "fast money" now.[6]
Additionally, many collegiate administrators felt the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden, and New York City in general, lent itself to corruption. The NCAA didn't schedule any tournament games in the New York area until 1982, when first and second round games were hosted at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island. The Final Four wouldn't return to the New York area until the 1996 Final Four was held at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. In 2014, the current Madison Square Garden hosted the East Regional semifinals and final--the first time that any NCAA Tournament games were played in New York City itself in 63 years.
While Kentucky was forced to cancel one season of play (1952–53), it was the only program that was not permanently hobbled by the scandal. To date, Bradley is the only other affected school to have appeared in a final major media poll. However, none of the programs would suffer more than CCNY and LIU. Following the discovery of several other irregularities, CCNY deemphasized its athletic program and dropped down to what is now Division III. LIU shut down its entire athletic program from 1951 to 1957, and didn't return to Division I until the 1980s.
