Title: Fiesta Bowl gets to stay in BCS but must pay $1 million fine Post by: pmull on May 11, 2011, 03:25:25 PM WASHINGTON -- The Fiesta Bowl will be allowed to remain part of the Bowl Championship Series, though it must pay a $1 million fine for apparent illegal campaign contributions and inappropriate spending.
The BCS presidential oversight committee, which made the decision today, also attached several other conditions as it let the Fiesta Bowl remain part of the system for deciding college football's national champion. They included steps to strengthen the Fiesta Bowl's board along with greater supervision of executives to make sure the problems are not repeated, according to materials obtained by The Associated Press. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/05/fiesta_bowl_gets_to_stay_in_bc.html |
