    Arizona's Attorney General May Investigate Fiesta Bowl

    Fiesta campaign donations claims referred to AG:

    The Arizona Attorney General's Office has been asked to conduct a criminal investigation into claims that current and former Fiesta Bowl employees made illegal campaign contributions to politicians friendly to the bowl.

    Secretary of State Ken Bennett requested the probe in a letter to Attorney General Terry Goddard last Friday. Bennett's office has been investigating the Fiesta Bowl since a complaint was filed in late December.

    In an investigation in December by The Arizona Republic, past and present employees told the newspaper that they were encouraged to write checks to specific candidates and were reimbursed by the bowl. Such contributions would violate state election laws. Fiesta Bowl officials have consistently denied that contributions were coordinated or reimbursed.

    Goddard's office said Monday it has received Bennett's letter and is reviewing the matter. It declined further comment.
    Apparently this is being driven by Playoff Pac and their complaint they filed.

    Whatever it takes to get a playoff is a good thing. Go Playoff PAC!

      Just the kind of corruption one would expect from a cartel of this nature.

      I am waiting for SU to come in here and stick up for the big guy.

        I'm waiting for Santos to defend it as he's a BCS believer.

          Whatever it takes to get the cotton bowl added to the BCS. That will make me happy.

            I think it is only a matter of time for Jerry's world to be a location for a BCS game.

              How can you NOT have a major bowl game in that stadium if you can make scheduling with the Cowboys work (they make scheduling with the Texans work for the Texas Bowl or whatever they call it). That stadium is incredible.

                No, you're the defender. I hate bowls. You love bowls. I'm in favor of nuking them all. But if you have to have them, the BCS is an improvement on how it was 20 years ago.

                  You think the BCS is better than the bowls. I think the BCS has ruined college football. I'm not sure how you think I'm a defender.

                  Funny that you say 20 years ago. Had the BCS been around 30 years ago, there would be no talk of 1984 for BYU fans. Back then, every team at least had a chance to win a fake championship.

                    I think they still have a chance to win, now.

                    And we had a discussion a while back on BYU 1984 using BCS formula. It's impossible to know, but there's a very high chance BYU would have played in the BCS title game in 1984 with the same rules as today.
