An initial bowl review found no evidence of that, but it later called for an independent investigation. The results, released last March, led to the ouster of Junker and Wisneski.
Three months after Junker was fired, the bowl hired University of Arizona president Robert Shelton to lead the organization and repair its reputation.
"The Fiesta Bowl is bigger than a few individuals and has gained its stellar reputation through the hard work of thousands of honest volunteers over the last 40 years," bowl Chairman of the Board Duane Woods said in a statement posted on the organization's website on Tuesday.
The bowl is cooperating with the state attorney general's office, and has taken steps to ensure the law will not be broken again, Woods said.
