I don't know. The scandal would be so big it could destroy the credibility of the game. I do however think it needs to be addressed by the league. The refs need to sit down and be interviewed and asked these questions about why they think officiating has bee so inconsistent. I don't think its sports betting but there is a problem and it needs attention from the league.

The amount of advertising alone is evidence that this is an absolute certainty. IMO.

And we won't have AI officiating until they tune the algorithms to maximize house profits.
