Ex-LA Deputy Mayor Convicted in City Hall Corruption Case

Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan was convicted on 12 counts of racketeering, bribery, fraud, and giving false statements in a corruption case involving real estate developers and their influence at City Hall. Prosecutors portrayed Chan as a central figure in a pay-to-play scheme, along with former L.A. City Councilmember Jose Huizar, involving pushing forward lucrative deals for foreign developers in exchange for favors and financial gain between 2013 and 2018. Chan's sentencing is scheduled for June 10, and his lawyers plan to appeal the verdict.

Kansas Men's Basketball to Finally Learn NCAA Infractions Fate on Wednesday: Reports

After a six-year investigation, the NCAA infractions case against the Kansas men's basketball team will finally receive a decision on Wednesday. The team faces five Level I violations, including a lack of institutional control, while coach Bill Self has been charged with a head-coach responsibility offense. The case originated from an alleged pay-to-play scheme involving former Adidas consultant T.J. Gassnola and Adidas executive Jim Gatto funneling money to former players. The Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) will deliver the ruling, which could result in various punishments, including a postseason ban. Kansas cannot appeal the final decision.
