Toledo RB charged in points scheme

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Athletic officials at the University of Toledo said Monday they don't know if any more players will be charged in what the FBI says was a point-shaving scheme.

Federal authorities arrested running back Harvey "Scooter" McDougle Jr. on Friday, charging him with participating in a bribery scheme to influence sporting contests.

McDougle, 22, and a senior from East Cleveland, recruited Toledo football and basketball players to participate in the scheme orchestrated by a Michigan man identified only as "Gary," according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court.

Athletic Director Mike O'Brien said he has no plans to interview any other athletes and that federal authorities are taking the lead on the investigation.

"We just found out about this Friday," O'Brien said.

He said he did not know if the alleged scheme had changed the outcome of any games.
