Fire Ed Rush for offering bribes to referees

The Issue

Offering and accepting bribes in the NCAA is a class C Felony. When Ed Rush offered "$5,000 or a trip to Cancun" to any referee who issued Arizona coach Sean Miller a technical foul or expulsion from the game, he compromised the integrity of the sport. Larry Scott, the Pac 12 commissioner, thus far has defended the comments made by Rush as being "in jest." Regardless of if the comment was a joke, Sean Miller was issued a technical foul and fined $25,000 for saying "he touched the ball" to Referee Irving, implying that the comment was not a joke after all. Please sign this petition demanding that Larry Scott fire Ed Rush for his unprofessional and illegal comments.
