Hill claimed he paid Kuhn and Sweeney to shave points in nine games between December 16, 1978, and March 1, 1979. Hill won six games, but didn't begin to win wagers until Boston College's star Ernie Cobb joined the scheme for the last five games. Hill claimed he made between $ 75,000 to $ 100,000 in eleven weeks. He estimated his partners made $ 250,000. Hill said the players involved made about $ 10,000 each.
