I'm not sure I totally agree with the premise of the article, however.
Here's a quote from the article:

The problem for college basketball is that if game officials -- beyond Correll -- were involved in this circumstance at any level, and if it is determined to be illicit, the integrity of the sport could be called into question. Even if an official were considered simply to be an investor, his involvement would indicate an absence either of integrity or intelligence. Neither would reflect well on the game.


Substitute the word "politicians" for "officials" and it would have some validity.
