University of Toledo Athlete Charged in Scheme To Influence Sporting Contests
The Akron Beacon Journal recently reported that University of Toledo running back Harvey “Scooter” McDougle, Jr. was arrested Friday for participating in a bribery scheme to influence sporting contests. According to the article, McDougle recruited other Toledo football and basketball players to participate in the scheme, orchestrated by a Michigan man known only as “Gary.” University of Toledo athletics director Mike O’Brien says that the university “just found out about [the scandal] Friday.” Court documents do not indicate whether the results of any games were actually affected.
