FBI Basketball Probe
(New York City, NY) — Top high school basketball players may have been bribed by Adidas to play for certain colleges, according to an FBI probe. The “Washington Post” says court documents allege an Adidas executive arranged tens of thousands of dollars in secret payments to make sure the high school players went to either Kansas or North Carolina State. The allegations are part of an ongoing federal probe of corruption in college basketball. A spokeswoman for Adidas says the company is cooperating with the investigation.
