Brazil's Olympic-Era Anti-Corruption Reforms, Andrew B. Spalding
Brazil's Olympic-Era Anti-Corruption Reforms, Andrew B. Spalding
Law Faculty Publications
A country once renowned for glorifying corruption now leads what may be the furthest-reaching anti-corruption investigation in history. Brazil, once typified by its "Brazilian jeitinho" way of creatively navigating social problems,' now executes "Operation Car Wash," bringing down political and business leaders by the dozens. So too has Brazil's Congress adopted a series of dramatic, and effective, new anti-corruption laws, in response to public outcries for reform. It is deeply ironic, but not at all coincidental, that Brazil concurrently hosted the Summer Olympics. This paper chronicles the extraordinary series of events that connect - in a line that is straight …
Radical Reform Of Intercollegiate Athletics: Antitrust And Public Policy Implications, Stephen Ross
Radical Reform Of Intercollegiate Athletics: Antitrust And Public Policy Implications, Stephen Ross
Stephen F Ross
Universities operating major intercollegiate athletic programs are heading for, if not already in, a crisis. Corruption continues to affect major football and basketball programs, exacerbated by a failure of imagination and will in identifying and deterring corruption, and by a lack of consensus on what constitutes "corruption" when football and men's basketball stars generate millions of dollars but cannot enjoy a lifestyle commensurate with many peer students. Current levels of spending are nonsustainable at many schools. Even where intercollegiate athletic programs are sustained primarily by football and basketball revenues, otherwise visionary and questioning college presidents have yet to publicly question …

A Red Card For Fifa: Corruption And Scandal In The World’S Foremost Sports Association, Chance Esposito
Law Student Publications
On a global scale, soccer (or as it is commonly called in most other countries “football”) is the most popular sport based on its numbers alone with over 250 million players. In recent years, the sport has become increasingly popular in nations or territories such as the United States. As a result of this increased interest, the sport and its governing organization, The Federation Internationale de Football Association (“FIFA”), has been thrown into the global media arena in the past two decades. Recently unearthed information, however, has put the actions of the organization at the center of controversy for alleged …

A WAVE OF MATCH-FIXING THREATENS THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR SPORT.

The Fix: Soccer And Organized Crime, Declan Hill
The Fix: Soccer And Organized Crime, Declan Hill
Division of Government and Public Service, Investigations Program Faculty Book Series
The Fix is the most explosive story of sports corruption in a generation. Intriguing, riveting, and compelling, it tells the story of an investigative journalist who sets out to examine the world of match-fixing in professional soccer.
From the Introduction
Understand how gambling fixers work to corrupt a soccer game and you will understand how they move into a basketball league, a cricket tournament, or a tennis match (all places, by the way, that criminal fixers have moved into). My views on soccer have changed. I still love the Saturday-morning game between amateurs: the camaraderie and the fresh smell of …
