They will sacrifice a few, change some rule, and declare it over. The payola has been going on for decades, especially in college hoops. My uncle went to a Division III college that basically decided making the NCAA tournament would be good for donations so they bought themselves a basketball team made of good players who had been kicked out of other universities all over the country. They all had "leadership" scholarships, work study jobs they never worked that paid a lot more every month than work study students were allowed, smoked weed like it was going out of style, had keg parties in the open on the dry campus, never attended classes, and were rained down with their every want or need. They got a couple rounds into the tourney which was all the school ever wanted....and then most of the team disappeared from school not to be seen again.
