NCAA Scandal

[Guest]

Another day, another scandal in the NCAA. Consider us (un)surprised. 

The FBI arrested 10 people on fraud charges, including four assistant basketball coaches at major programs (USC, OK St., Arizona, and Auburn) and an Adidas employee. 

Here’s the gameplan that drew the foul: assistant coaches received bribes ($10,000+) from sportswear execs, financial advisers, and agents to “steer” basketball players into contracts. 

And that scheme seeped into the highest level of sports business. Adidas director Jim Gatto allegedly funneled $100,000 to a college basketball player (presumably at Louisville) he hoped would sign an agreement with the apparel company. 

The charges are just another blow to the NCAA’s battered reputation. And as far as sports organizations go, we might be encroaching on…*cringes*…FIFA territory.
