Bribery Scandal Top Universities/Fake Athletes

A perfectly predictable response. Thanks for not disappointing.

Any idiot who claims, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Georgetown, and MIT make no difference in the long run, deserves to be left in the dark. In the meantime the kids at Apple, Goldman Sachs, Google and McKinsey will not be looking back.

Perfectly predictable and uneducated response. Let's review your supposed measures of success.

Company, CEO, Undergraduate Degree

Apple, Tim Cook, Auburn University
Goldman Sachs, David Solomon, Hamilton College
Google, Sundar Pichal, Indian Institute of Technology
McKinsey, Dominic Barton, University of British Columbia

Thanks for playing along in our latest game, "I Proved Your Point."

Using a few anomalies to prove a point is pretty predictable as well.

Of fortune 500 companies

Harvard boasts 12 CEOs
Cornell 10 CEOs
Stanford Produced 6
Yale 4
and each of the military academies produced 4 (16)

Wisconsin and Michigan are in the top 5 as well. Which is impressive, but with massive enrollments (170,000 for Wisconsin) and 50,000 for Michigan. Michigan is an interesting case as they have one of the most well connected and well-funded business schools in the country, receiving massive donations from Steven Ross and Larry Page.

Now that still leaves a huge number of CEOs from other universities around the country but in the end...going to certain schools do have some massive advantages.

This doesn't even get into the discussion of the level/type of education for C-Suite management.

Hey moron,. None of the companies listed above are recruiting from Auburn or Hamilton. However Harvard, Stanford, MIT all have direct internship programs in place which leads to full time employment upon graduation. You might want to ask University of British Columbia if they have that. Times have changed. Try to keep up.

Yale Coach Meredith - THROW THE BOOK AT THAT SOB!

From personal experience, Coach Meredith from Yale, would not give my kid the time of day, but instead was way too friendly with the parents of kids that had parents that were LOADED with money. Although the kids he recruited to Yale from Boca United and South Florida were on the top team in the area, they were not the best players, and yet Meredith was all into them.

Now, completely in hindsight, it is obvious that the soccer kids he accepted/recruited to Yale during the 2014 -2016 cycle from South Florida, did NOT earn it! So glad that justice is finally going to get served, and I hope Meredith and those parents get put away for a long time.

Armada stills sucks a fat one.

Sorry pal, but the opinion of this South Floridian is that Armada is a legitimate club and FESA is the red-headed stepchild. For all the chest beating and trash talking you FESA people do here on TS, you’d think you would be dominating the state. I’ve only seen ugly and dirty soccer from your teams and screaming coaches. Pretty sure most others would agree.

Armada may not be the best club in the state, but from what I’ve seen and have heard, it’s at least a legitimate and relevant youth soccer club.

I get it. Butthurt when someone proves your point as wrong. It's OK. You have all day to post your excuses on here. Ready. Set. Go.

Thanks for doubling down on your original post. Now you are using graduate degrees, which was not the first topic. Keep trying though. A for effort.

So your kid did not get attention from Yale. You have now concluded that EVERY person this coach spoke with and recruited came from a wealthy family who paid a bribe? Stop being the poor victim. Your child will pick up on it and continue your legacy.

There is not one FL family on the indictment list. You don't know squat about those kids and what their academics were. The indictment indicates he took bribes less than a handful of times over several years. Most of the kids on his rosters did earn it. Your kid just wasn't good enough or smart enough - or both.

You proved little, as shown above. I can find high school dropouts that managed to start multimillion dollar corporations, but that is not the norm. The point that most are making is that going to a prestigious university does have loads of advantages.

If you took the percentage of top 20 school graduates who make over a certain amount or have achieved a specific level in their career and compared that to every other school...it would be overwhelmingly in favor of those top 20 schools. There is a big difference between 10 grads from Yale (with an enrollment of 5700) and 10 grads from UF with an enrollment of 37,000. This means that you are six and a half times more likely to reach an elite level of success at the Ivy University.

It is new news. In the old days rich republicans used to bribe colleges by building libraries and fund programs. Today rich liberal democrats just pay off college admissions officials and nothing gets built as they try to tear down the nation.

Difference between types of corruption.

Typical con - using an example of a few Dems to represent all. The indictment list is CA skewed because the lead scammer was in CA. Statistically more will be Dems than not. But there's several investment banker/private equity types. The media outlets just keep making a big deal about the two actresses.

And if you're going to cast stones, I'd be careful. Trump, his kids and Jared all got into their schools because of their money. They were all very average students.

Not the op - obviously - and you are correct. There are plenty of people who go to prestige schools who don't go on to do newsworthy things. And for ever story of the Fortune 500 CEO who went to Podunk U there's thousands of Podunk alumni that have more typical careers and average salaries for Podunk U. Prestige schools offer several advantages to give a graduate a leg up in life

1) Even if you're an average student for that school you're getting a top notch education with international experts in their fields and fellow students who raise the bar
2) You make connections with well connected families. Your roommate's dad gives you an internship at his big name company, maybe even gives you a job after graduation. But that name company puts you at a higher starting point than if you went to a different school and didn't have that internship
3) You make connections with very well connected alumni who will (most times ) have a soft spot and try and help
4) Top notch companies recruit at top notch schools. They are less likely to recruit at Pudunk U. Again, you're starting out ahead of the pack which can lead to more and more opportunities.

True, true, but Tim Cook went to Auburn, so all logic, statistics and data has to be suspended for the one off guy, so says the moron earlier.

So true but Trumptards refuse to acknowledge any facts. Surprised Don the Con didn't have this little scam attached to his foundation.
