That is the only comment we will have at this time.&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"update_grey_gray_bar\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/11/20/update-grey-gray-bar.jpg\" /&gt;The University of Alabama Birmingham has opened up an investigation into reports UAB defensive end &lt;strong&gt;Chris Rabb&lt;/strong&gt; may have been part of a point-shaving scheme with &lt;strong&gt;Jameis Winston&lt;/strong&gt; ... &lt;strong&gt;TMZ Sports&lt;/strong&gt; has learned.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what we know ... UAB is currently in fact-finding mode -- contacting people who may know something about the allegations to figure out if Rabb has done anything wrong.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One email, sent by a UAB official to someone involved in the story, includes a line which reads, &lt;strong&gt;\"These allegations may affect Chris&amp;#8217; eligibility so it is very important that we speak as soon as possible.\"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The allegation in question ... Jameis tanked the 1st half of the FSU vs. Louisville game to help Rabb win a $5,000 bet.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, point-shaving is illegal ... but it seems UAB is also interested to see if Rabb was gambling on college sports at all -- a huge no-no for active college athletes.&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We contacted UAB for comment several times -- but the school refused to comment."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
