Robert Shelton has resigned as executive director of the Fiesta Bowl, 2 1/2 years after he took the job amid a scandal that rocked the foundation of one of college football's major events. Shelton left his post as president of the University of Arizona to take over at the Fiesta Bowl on June 13, 2011. He replaced John Junker, who resigned following a scathing internal report outlining lavish spending and a scheme in which bowl employees were required to make donations to certain political candidates and have the money reimbursed by the bowl. Under Shelton, the Fiesta Bowl repaired its image, expanded charitable contributions, retained its status as a Bowl Championship Series event, then landed future semifinal and championship games in the new college football playoff system.
