Meanwhile, Woods said a separate meeting with the NCAA panel responsible for licensing bowls went well. The meeting took place at a downtown New Orleans hotel only blocks from where BCS commissioners have been meeting this week.
“It went fine. Our message is the same: Here’s how we got here, here’s the steps we’re taking to be transparent about how we got here. And here are the changes and the fixes we’ve made,” Woods said.
In March, an internal investigation by a three-member panel made up of two Fiesta Bowl board members and a retired Arizona Supreme Court justice uncovered widespread lavish spending, including $33,188 for a Pebble Beach, Calif., birthday bash for John Junker, $13,000 for the wedding and honeymoon of an aide, and a $1,200 strip club tab.

Other BCS bowls say their policies prevent misdeeds
NEW ORLEANS – Two of the Fiesta Bowl’s fellow members in the Bowl Championship Series say they have long had and followed policies to prevent the kind of problems that hurt the Arizona-based college football game.
The Fiesta Bowl is implementing changes and fighting to stay in the BCS after disclosing last month that employees were reimbursed for political contributions, a potential felony, and that funds were used to pay for trips to strip clubs and out-of-state junkets.
The Fiesta Bowl today will make its case to keep its operating license with the NCAA, the governing body of college athletics, during the BCS annual meetings here. Last Saturday, Fiesta Bowl officials traveled to Chicago to explain to a special BCS task force the governing changes it had made. The BCS determines which bowls host the top post-season college football games.
