The first round of criminal sentences were handed out in the FBI college basketball scandal on Tuesday. Jim Gatto was given nine months in prison, while both Merle Code and Christian Dawkins were given six months. Appeals are already underway for all involved.
Perhaps bigger news than the actual sentence was the banter that took place in the courtroom. According to a Yahoo! report, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan and multiple attorneys thoroughly discussed the scandalous history of the Louisville Cardinals during the sentencing hearing.
You see, the technical “victims” in this scandal have been the universities involved that took in student athletes that were ineligible.
