on plays at the end of competition. After so many, you do begin to question if the refs are being paid extra for fixing games. After all, the conference has a lot to gain if they can preserve it's best teams from losses so they can pull in the big money of a national championship, or from the bigger bowl games. Also, if there are several strong teams in the conference, it enhances the money making potential.

I don't know if it is happening, but I do believe that there are money hungry people that will do anything to get more money. The mafia isn't just mythical and I am sure there are other like minded people out there.
