adidas Basketball Director Of Global Marketing Jim Gatto Charged In NCAA Corruption Scandal

Adidas Jim Gatto

adidas Hoops’ Director of Global Marketing Jim Gatto is one of the ten individuals charged in a massive corruption scandal within college basketball. The FBI claims that adidas’ Gatto paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to funnel top prospects to adidas sponsored colleges, including college sports powerhouse Louisville. In FBI documents, Gatto conspired with several individuals on a massive illegal bribery scheme, which included an attempt to pay one player and his family $100,000 to get him to a school of Gatto’s choice. Another player was paid $150,000 with the expectation that the player would sign with Adidas when he went to the NBA. There’s no telling just how far back Gatto’s bribes have gone, and if he’s had any influence on adidas’ current roster of athletes.
