HONOLULU -- The Honolulu Police Department is looking into allegations of point shaving by a member or members of the Unversity of Hawaii Warriors football program, sources said.

...

The HPD case is in its initial phases, a source familiar with the probe said. The source asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

UH spokeswoman Lynne Waters released a statement Tuesday that said:

"On November 3, 2011, the UH Manoa Office of Admissions received an anonymous letter alleging 'point shaving' by unnamed football players of UH football games."

"Recognizing the seriousness of these allegations, UH leadership acted promptly and responsibly by immediately alerting the Honolulu Police Department and providing the letter to them."

"Board of Regents Chair Eric Martinson and President MRC Greenwood met personally with Chief Louis Kealoha to offer UH’s full cooperation with HPD’s inquiry."

"UH has alerted the NCAA about the anonymous letter and its contents and, in discussions with them, has been informed that it is 'doing exactly what you need to be doing' in this situation," Waters said.

"We respect the process of the police investigation, therefore UH will not comment further at this point," said Waters in a written statement.

Actually, they updated your Star-Advertiser link. Here's the new headline:

HPD says it is not investigating allegations of UH point-shaving

Star-Advertiser Staff said:

"UH officials gave a copy of an anonymous letter to the HPD," according to spokeswoman Michelle Yu. "At this time, there is not enough information to open a criminal investigation."

Oh man, I remember when I bet sports quite a bit, Hawaii would be the last action on the board (because of the late start time)...and if my book was answering his phone late I would often try to get even, or press my good luck before the NFL stuff on Sunday.

I bet a lot of hard core gamblers bet on Hawaii games for that reason, we'll see if something is up.

I never liked Hawaii, cause they got all homophobic and went from "Rainbow Warriors" to just "Warriors"..Rainbow Warriors was cool.

Does anyone in Hawaii actually care about UH football? I thought all of the smart money was associated with UH volleyball.
