NEW YORK HOOP SCHEMES
Previous basketball scandals focused on the players, who were seduced from the college ranks.
Both of the two widespread point-shaving revelations that shook college basketball were traced to New York gamblers and prosecuted by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Frank Hogan. The first, which broke in 1951, caused the de-emphasis of the sport at City College, which had won both the NCAA and NIT championships in 1950, and at Long Island University. It also touched the programs at New York University and Manhattan College as well as national powers Kentucky and Bradley.

It should be noted that it was a Manhattan College student, Junius Kellogg who broke the scandal when he reported a bribe offer to his coach, Ken Norton.
