Former Adidas executive James Gatto, business manager Christian Dawkins and Merl Code, a former Adidas consultant, were convicted in October of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for funneling illegal payments to families of recruits to Louisville, Kansas and North Carolina State. NCAA President Mark Emmert has said an independent enforcement body to adjudicate major infractions cases could be in place by August.
