I'll give it a shot.
Is it a crime to pay someone in a way that breaks federal rules in order to enrich yourself or your company?
OK, I realize it's a stretch. But aren't the admissions standards governed by some federal laws as long as the schools accept federal grant money? If they violate those rules intentionally, and in a way that enriches themselves (higher share of NCAA tournament payout $$), could it be a crime?
How about if you're bidding for a government contract and you break the rules? I'm (definitely) not 100% sure, but those rules around how to submit a government contract are not laws, they are regulations or rules aren't they? But if you falsify documents you could be subject to serious penalties. Right?
