At a quick google: Fifa is having serious trouble recruiting new sponsors, and the remaining big money is demanding assurances. There will be a summit in August, and the way it happened comes across to me as the sponsors really yanking Fifa's chain.http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33649448 , http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/11760982/Fifa-admits-it-cannot-attract-new-sponsors-until-Sepp-Blatter-leaves.html

Probably related, the various contenders for Blatter's throne started publicly jockeying for position last week: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33700638 , http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33714580

Would the current alternatives be any better than the status quo? There really ought to be a massive reorganization that goes way beyond just the huge swath of org leadership that got indicted.

They could disolve Fifa as an entity and start it again from the ground up but all of the same problems would appear, and I would wager the majority of the people in control of governing bodies would be back in the same job with just a different combination of letters at the top of the paper.

You might be able to get away with a 20-year moratorium on FIFA leadership accepting any role from new-FIFA.

Expecting a youtube statement about the clear conspiracy wherein America wants to get back at superior futbol nations.

More like a video of him singing "took a little bribe, got banned for life"

Any prosecutor worth their salt would happily provide a very generous plea deal for the right kind of evidence against the IOC.

Bonus comedy if it somehow circles around and hits Romney for SLC.
