Derrick Rose and I’m sure plenty of others prior.  Felicity Huffman charged in this latest go around.


A few years ago China had a major crackdown in their system with 7 year prison term if caught cheating.

It takes A LOT to shock me these days. Typing “Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin part of college basketball cheating scandal” is something I thought I’d NEVER type. WTF.

“The documents say the Loughlin and her husband "agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team -- despite the fact that they did not participate in crew - thereby facilitating their admission to USC”

I had initially read college basketball was primarily involved (believe there are 6 basketball coaches going to be indicted), but this looks to go way deeper than just basketball.

Ultra rich buying their kids access into college.  Glad the feds are going after this.

A straight $500,000 donation to the school isn't enough to get your kids in anymore?  Seems that ought to do it.

Aaron Leibowitz @aaron_leib

BREAKING: The US Attorney in Boston has unsealed indictments against at least 47 people in a nationwide college admissions cheating and recruitment scheme, including current and former D-1 coaches at Yale, Georgetown, USC, Wake Forest and Texas.

There may not be anyone in basketball involved (yet). All my college basketball Twitter follows were mentioning this first, so I assumed basketball, that’s my bad.

Sounds like it is minor sports.  Crew, tennis, etc.  Not enough money to make it worth it for the major sports.

I guess MU will not be mentioned since MU is not considered an elite school. I know when I attended back in the 60s most of the students were from blue collar families including mine which could not afford a 500 or even a 50K bribe. I am sure MU would not accept a bribe if one were offered. I know my degree was just as valuable as one from the "elite" schools and I earned it.

He is an alum of my kids high school.  Loughlin and I worked on the NOW launch in NYC in late 2016. 

CT,  $500k doesn’t do it anymore.  Old boss of mine wanted his kid to go to Northwestern where he went, he was donating absurd amounts to help get an edge...didn’t happen for his kid.

This. Inequality increasing.

Oh, and the payments were tax-deductible.

He should have contacted the school in advance. They all have a set dollar amount that can get your kid into the "select admission category". They usually have some set minimum performance to allow them to stay in school beyond the first year.

Some schools this is $1M+, others in the $5-10M category. Surprised your old boss was not aware of this.

And for those of you that surf or just like the Mossimo clothing line (skews a little younger but they have some cool duds for our age groups), the founder of Mossimo is married to Lori.

Things you might not have known.
