Federal authorities would not specify which game in February 2010 that Johnson allegedly fixed, or how he did it — whether it was influencing the game's final score relative to the point spread set by oddsmakers (known as point shaving), or whether it was for a wager on what is known as the "money line" (a simple bet on which team will win or lose, regardless by how much).

USD played seven games in February 2010, and Johnson missed one of them with what reportedly was a groin injury.

I love going to Vegas (before my toddler was born, that is), but I think that we should ban gambling on college sporting events. College athletes who get into money troubles are very vulnerable to getting into this kind of stuff.
