Fiesta Bowl Officials Brace For Findings (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6236194)
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Fiesta Bowl officials are bracing for what could be a scathing report from an internal investigation of the event's financial and political dealings, some of which may have skirted, or even broken, state and federal law.
The report, which could come out as soon as next week, is the culmination of a probe by a three-member panel that includes two Fiesta Bowl board members and a retired Arizona Supreme Court justice.
Fiesta Bowl president and CEO John Junker, who in two decades directed the once-upstart bowl to the land of the BCS giants, was placed on paid administrative last month as the internal examination proceeded.
The investigation is separate from a state attorney general's probe into possible criminal violations involving political contributions by Fiesta Bowl employees.
