How can you be so sure, as you stated, that "there isn't one coach or player" willing to do this when this one article has two coaches saying they either did it or were approached to do it ???

"Did" or "were asked to do" are 2 different animals. Brian Flores asserted that he was asked to do so by his owner, and he obviously did not carry out what was asked of him ...... in fact, his actions of publicly blowing the whistle on his owner for his alleged bribe attempt exemplifies what I am pointing out. I can't necessarily prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bethune–Cookman University won't win the Division-I NCAA basketball tournament next year, but I believe that it is a fairly safe bet/presumption.

And now that anybody who is even mildly familiar with the NFL is well aware of Brian Flores' allegations about what his owner asked him to do, the likelihood of a coach being stupid/crazy enough to accept and go along with tanking games at his owner's request in the future is even less because of the major scrutiny that surrounds the whole tanking concept even more than it did in the first place.
