Buffalo rocked by college basketball scandal

Two former University at Buffalo basketball players are at the center of a major point-shaving scheme that’s shaking up the college sports world. Federal prosecutors say Shawn Fulcher and Isaiah Adams were paid thousands to underperform in games, helping gamblers cash in big. The scheme allegedly involved over a dozen NCAA players and stretched from 2022 into 2025, with bets totaling nearly $90,000 on just one game. UB officials say these incidents don’t reflect the school’s values, but it’s a tough blow for fans who trust in the integrity of the game. How do you think this impacts college sports and our community’s faith in athletics? #Sports #Basketball #Buffalo

Buffalo’s Natalie Barnhard leaves a legacy of hope

Natalie Barnhard-Castrogiovanni turned a devastating accident into a movement that changed lives across Western New York. After a spinal cord injury left her paralyzed, she realized Buffalo lacked the resources people needed for recovery. So, she built them herself—founding the Motion Project Foundation and later opening a center that offers cutting-edge rehab and support. Her work didn’t stop there; she fought for disability rights on Capitol Hill and inspired countless others to believe in possibility, not limitation. How has Natalie’s story or the Motion Project touched your life or someone you know? Let’s celebrate her impact together. #Safety #Buffalo #DisabilityAdvocacy

Buffalo loses a local craft beer gem

Froth Brewing Company is closing its beloved Buffalo taproom after seven years of pouring some of the city’s most creative beers. From marshmallow stouts to their famous Liquid Lollipop, Froth became a neighborhood favorite for its wild flavors and welcoming vibe. While the taproom’s last day is February 1, you’ll still find Froth’s cans on local shelves. For many in Black Rock, this spot was more than a bar—it was a gathering place. How do you feel about losing a place that brought so much flavor and community to Buffalo? #Food #Buffalo #CraftBeer
