It seems the coach bet on his team to lose.

The NCAA or the Cleveland mob? I say the latter.

The Cleveland mob which is modeled after the NCAA should extend a probe into the NCAA and twist it around vigorously.

This is a fascinating story when considering the the technology used to track the bets and garner the video. The gambling IRS is watching everything.
