          Looks like it just isn't the Ivy's doing it according to the celebrity article (Wake Forest, Georgetown, etc.). Unfortunately, it only supports how much weight athletics plays in getting a child into college.

              Hello???? This crap has been going on for years. Generations really.

              Someone paid $6.5M.

              While the hollywood angle is juicy, I want to see the CEO list.

                the "consultant" was paid over $25M from 2011-2018. Several schools including Wake, UCLA and others, not just Yale.

                      "Federal prosecutors on Tuesday charged nearly 50 people, including Hollywood actresses, wealthy business leaders and coaches at top American universities, with paying or accepting bribes to admit student applicants.

                      At a news conference in Boston on Tuesday, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts, Andrew E. Lelling, called the case the largest college admissions scandal ever prosecuted by the Justice Department.

                      Both coaches and private admissions counselors received millions of dollars for helping to get students admitted as athletes to Yale, Stanford and University of Southern California, regardless of their academic or sports ability, officials said."

                          There is a Yale women's soccer coach involved as well as an informant. They are looking into the not for profits as well, probably clubs are next if not already being investigated.
                          It's not limited to soccer. It's all sports. They are cracking the industry that is the drug for the affluent, elite sports.
                          This is just the tip of the iceberg. Get your popcorn people, the scrutiny of the kids coming in will be crazy. You had better be academically and athletically qualified.
