It's sports bribery. Hate the term but thats what it is.Good catch on the terminology.
The charges carried 5 years in prison and/or $250k in fines.The 20-count indictment charges that between December 2004 and December 2006 Manni and Karam paid money, and other things of value, to University of Toledo athletes in order to influence, or attempt to influence, the final score of particular football and basketball games. Manni and Karam would then place bets on these games.
