"For all of the suspensions, fines and N.C.A.A. investigations in the past year in college sports, few have posed a threat to the integrity of the games themselves like Monday's announcement that two former University of San Diego basketball players and a former assistant were among 10 people indicted in a point-shaving scheme.
The federal indictments, which also included charges of illegal bookmaking and marijuana distribution, raised a vexing question: how often are college basketball games fixed?
"I don't think it's common, but I also don't think that anyone is immune," said Julie Roe Lach, the N.C.A.A.'s vice president for enforcement. She added, "We are talking about the integrity of college sports when you're talking about this issue."
