Abington professor's new book exposes NBA betting scandal

Sean Patrick Griffin, associate professor of criminal justice at Penn State Abington and critically acclaimed author, soon will be busy with book signings and interviews as his much-anticipated book, "Gaming the Game," is released later this week. A nonfiction true-crime work, "Gaming the Game" tells the story of the recent NBA betting scandal and the Philadelphia-area professional gambler -- Jimmy Battista -- who made it happen.
