Coaches indicted in the college admissions scandal

Post by brownman »

So .. these kids got admitted on athletic scholarships, then demonstrated their ineptitude and then did what, warmed the bench or just simply quit their teams ? How does a college coach ever decide that's a good deal for their program?
The Photoshopping of faces on pix of top performing athletes is an interesting angle :roll:

Whoever paid $6.5M for a fraudulent SAT score woulda been better off just giving their brain dead kid the money and having them open a business of some kind. Now the kids life has been thrown to the curb.

This is one crazy and sad story. Another example of how vulnerable seemingly all of our 'institutions' have become.

Some people gave money, in one case 500k and then the kid didn't even apply.

Who really cares.

It's no worse than affirmative action plans.

Well, affirmative action plans are legal, no matter whether you like it or not, while this is textbook corruption.

I act see nothing wrong with it.

Look at what Dr Dre bragged about, isn't he just as guilty.

Oh ya, that's right, he gave the money to the school, not an individual.
