Amateur Status is back with a new weekly feature called AmStat Audio. This isn't exactly the radio you're listening to, it's just a casual conversation with me (Chris Godfrey) about whatever is piquing the interest of college sports fans from coast to coast. I plan to have some special guests on the show soon, and hopefully I receive plenty of feedback from the readers about topics to address in the future. Take a listen, and let me know what you think. This is AmStat Audio.

Point Shaving Scandal Rocks San Diego
This is a story that isn't getting enough attention. An assistant coach and a star player were arrested in connection to a point shaving scandal at the University of San Diego. I will never understand why a story of this magnitude isn't leading Sportscenter every night. I'm very interested to see how all of this unfolds. Most notably, what will be the fate of USD's highly regarded head coach Bill Grier? Grier was once Mark Few's heir apparent at Gonzaga, now he must try to guide a last place team through a mess that will certainly have stinging repercussions. Fortunately, as of this moment, it seems that Grier was totally in the dark about the potential illegal activity. If Grier's name is ever linked to this scandal, it could abruptly end a very talented coach's career.
