Prison? Apparently I don't understand exactly how they committed 'wire fraud' but federal prison seems harsh.

Prison? Apparently I don't understand exactly how they committed 'wire fraud' but federal prison seems harsh.

Ex-Adidas officials sentenced to prison in NCAA recruiting scandal

It was "conspiracy to commit wire fraud by funneling money to players", from the story:

Former Adidas executive James Gatto, business manager Christian Dawkins and Merl Code, a former Adidas consultant, were convicted in October of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for funneling illegal payments to families of recruits to Louisville, Kansas and North Carolina State.


Gatto got nine months in prison; Dawkins and Code got six months each. I felt that was pretty light.

Merl Code learned how to cheat at the master institution for that.
