College football's Fiesta Bowl has recently become engulfed in a scandal. Allegations include the improper reimbursement of employees for thousands of dollars in political campaign contributions. An initial investigation conducted by a former Arizona attorney general found no credible evidence of wrongdoing. However, when an employee later came forward with more information, a special committee of the Bowl hired the Minneapolis-based law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi to conduct a more thorough inquiry. The firm's recently released report shows substantial evidence of the improper reimbursements as well as numerous extravagant expenditures including strip club visits, a lavish 50th birthday party for the now-sacked CEO, and gold bullion gifts to employees. SI.com provides a good overview of the emerging scandal. The Arizona Republic originally broke the story and provides an update on the ethical implications for certain state legislators.
