Garrison LLP 1285 Avenue of the Americas
On May 23, the White Collar Crime team will present its annual
program in the form of a mock sports radio call in show focused on
the legal issues surrounding the ongoing college basketball "pay to
play" bribery scandal that has received a lot of recent media
attention. The program will provide an overview of the bribery and
fraud conduct that has been reported in the press, and discuss the
legal elements of the crimes that have been alleged in publicly
filed documents. The program will also feature a lively debate by
the team members and the audience on a number of controversial
topics related to the scandal, including: whether corruption in
college sports should be criminalized, whether the DOJ should
allocate resources investigating such activity and whether paying
athletes is a viable solution to the corruption problem that exists
in college sports. Please join us for what promises to be a very
entertaining, informative and timely program.
