Big 10 officials and Assistant U.S. Attorney Howard Pearl examined the Rose Bowl tapes to see if Harmon might have been trying to throw the game for gambling purposes, but concluded nothing suspicious occurred, the NCAA News reported.
Fry has since said that anyone who believes the rumors is "outta his mind."
No proof, but, in the court of public opinion (remember the govt. couldn't prove any crimes against Al Capone either except income tax evasion)...
HBO’s series, “Real Sports.
”On the show, which aired last Tuesday,
Michael Franzese, a former capo in the Colombo crime family, hints that Harmon, then a high-profile senior running back at Iowa, may have fixed the game.
Harmon,
who had fumbled just once all season, coughed up the ball four times in the first half alone and also dropped what appeared to be a sure touchdown catch in the 48-25 loss to underdog UCLA.
There may not be "proof" of throwing the game, but Harmon did associate himself with Norby Walters
...Walters, who to that point only represented black entertainers,
was a Colombo family associate.
No proof, but some very shady characters with mob ties smells fishy.
With that said, Daniels and Wadley remind me of Shaw and Banks.
