Yep, those are refs in there to ensure an outcome. Advanced stat keeping in the social media age is excellent for outing it. In the 90's/2000's they could do this stuff and no one would piece it all together and get it out to millions this easily.

Although I still don't think the average fan really cares that much. Is a scripted league that bad for 80% of the fans that just want to tune in and see storylines? Sadly, I don't know if that matters that much if a league is legit or not.
