A college basketball bribery scandal leads to arrests of 10 people — including an Adidas executive

The FBI arrested 10 people on charges of fraud and corruption in college basketball on Tuesday.

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that college basketball coaches at University of Arizona, Auburn, University of Southern California, and Oklahoma State University had been arrested, as well as managers, financial advisors, and representatives of a major international sportswear company.

Jim Gatto, director of global sports marketing for basketball at Adidas, was also named as a defendant. According to the complaint, Gatto allegedly conspired with coaches to pay high school athletes to play at universities sponsored by Adidas (referred to as "Company 1" in the case).

The investigation, which was been in progress since 2015, has been led by the FBI and the US Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York. Three separate complaints have been filed.

Gatto and four other defendants have been charged with "making and concealing bribe payments" to high school student athletes and/or their families.

In one instance, Gatto and the other defendants reportedly funneled $100,000 to the family of a high school basketball player to convince the player to sign with a "public research university" in Kentucky. The complaint doesn't name the university. Based on details provided, it is likely the University of Louisville, which signed a $160 million sponsorship deal with Adidas in August.

In another case, Gatto and other defendants allegedly agreed to make payments of up to $150,000 from Adidas to convince the player to join another team sponsored by the apparel company, according to filings. The university is not named, but based on the information provided, it’s likely the University of Miami, which entered into a 12-year partnership with Adidas in 2015.

Other defendants include Jonathan Brad Augustine, president of nonprofit The League Initiative; Merl Code, the head of Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League as of 2013; and Christian Dawkins, a former sports agent who was reportedly fired in May for charging $42,000 in Uber rides on an NBA player’s credit card.

The coaches named as defendants in the cases include Anthony “Tony” Bland, associate head coach at University of Southern California and former assistant coach at San Diego State; Chuck Connors Person, associate head coach at Auburn University; Lamont Evans, associate head coach and recruiting coordinator for Oklahoma State University’s basketball team and former South Carolina assistant coach; and Emmanuel Richardson, an assistant coach for University of Arizona.

The multi-million dollar battle for top-tier college basketball teams is hard fought amongst sportswear giants. The visibility of being worn by a certain team or high-profile player is a valuable marketing opportunity for apparel companies, despite the fact that NCAA players cannot be paid to endorse brands.

In the 2016 NCAA men's basketball tournament, Nike was the clear leader, providing uniforms for 41 entrants, the Baltimore Sun reported. Adidas provided outfits for 14 teams, Under Armour outfitted 10 teams, and Russell Athletic outfitted three.

Under Armour has made major investments in college basketball in recent years. In 2016, the company made a $280 million agreement to replace Adidas as the UCLA men's basketball team's shoe and apparel sponsor for the next 15 years. Under Armour has also cut deals in recent deals with teams including Notre Dame, Auburn, and Wisconsin.

If they can get some of these people to roll over on others, they could end up casting a pretty wide net.

Yep. Ive even been on record saying I dont think Calipari cheats anymore. He doesnt have to. Hes at Kentucky. Im not saying schools like duke, unc, Kansas, UK etc dont cheat, but I think its much more rampant at the middle tier schools

Disagree, because he's still competing with teams that do pay players; he doesn't get all those 5-stars by charm alone, especially when that would mean they're likely turning down six-figure bribes to go elsewhere.

FBI has not contacted ku. By far and large, most assistant coaches are not paying players. Thats more of a booster thing and really nothing u can do about it.

Don't you think that's a little naive? The money may not be coming from the coaching staffs, but they are involved in coordinating that at some level.

But this isn't just a booster thing.

College coaches can stop hiring assistants because they're connected at the AAU level in the hopes that said connection can score them a key recruit or two.

That's where some of these head coaches are going to barbecue themselves. I think to some extent they're telling the truth - they may not actually know exactly what these assistants are doing. But they're also not terribly worried about finding out. They hired these bag men because they were recruiting 'aces' and had friends at the AAU level. They probably know but disregard what that entails. Those guys get a job so they can get players. If they don't get them, they get canned. Pitino and his like aren't going to worry themselves with the 'how' and they'll try to hide behind plausible deniability.

It's a 'lay with dogs and you'll get fleas' situation. Major college coaches need to stop bringing in these shady-ass AAU coaches like Myron Piggie. Because a guy like Piggie will always have a Tom Grant in his back pocket shelling out the dough to get those players.

Not so much 'leave' as 'get taken'.

Because that guy's getting fired for cause when Louisville gets the death penalty and he gets a show-cause slapped on him.
