ESPN

According to a Thursday morning report from Katie Strang of The Athletic, College GameDay has been forced to return 37 Emmys to the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) after investigations revealed that ESPN had submitted bogus names for award consideration—presumably to circumvent NATAS rules governing who can win awards.

Per the report, the scheme dated to at least 2010, and resulted in “[stars] Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Chris Fowler, Desmond Howard and Samantha Ponder, among others” being given Emmys they were not eligible to win.

Disney owns ESPN. So there's probably much worse and disgusting things going on behind the scenes.

The worldwide leader in sports cheating? Winning awards with fake names, seems to fit into the philosophical framework of the company and many of the on air personalities there.

Those Emmy's were all meant for Keith Olbermann.
