Snowflake ? I think you forgot who won the Presidency. We don't need Mommy's & Daddy's Basement. Our Wives dont need to do the Women's March cause they are real Women. We don't need Hollywood to tell us how to think,We have our mind of our own who can think for ourselves. Life's good.

Will see if he is found to be a fraud and a cheat. Operation varsity blues is just the biggest to be prosecuted but there are more and surely involving college athletes test scores. The wealthy have been paying millions from the best college prep preschools and private schools to admissions counselors who actually build the student’s profile and have them do crew instead of photo shopping heads onto athlete bodies.

The LSU basketball coach was caught on wiretap wanting alumni donors to give more money to the players families to get the big recruits. This is rampant in basketball and football.

Although I don't approve of the Payments, College's & Universities have to find money to cover the Free loaders somehow.

Giving half a million to a university may have given their children an edge but not paying to have someone else take the SAT for them. So stupid.

Olivia Jade and her sister were on a USC Official’s (On Board of Trustees) yaucht in the Bahamas when her mom was indicted. USC was playing the game too. Both were playing the system. For many smart and qualified students it is not understanding the system. They have to start in middle school taking the right prep classes, SAT prep courses to boost scores, starting a non profit charity, etc. But fraud and cheating the system will not ever be worth it.

There are huge money boosters behind football and basketball programs. They give money to the athletes families and throw lavish parties for the teams. For sure a big loyal Miami donor's grandkid is getting in before the other students with the same credentials. It's holistic admissions and which student has more boxes checked, from the big donor alumni grandparent to the student with a hardship or from the low income household. A student with the same academic credentials with no extra boxes checked won't be first in. True story about a friend's kid who didn't get into FSU but was very qualified. The dad went to a big booster and the booster got the kid in the second roll around with admittance letters.

The first class action suit has been filed by two Stanford students. They claimed they both went through the legitimate and rigorous admissions process to Stanford and were "never informed that the process of admission was an unfair, rigged process, in which rich parents could buy their way into the university through bribery. They say the application fees they paid not give them a fair admissions process.
Here we go. And all this started by investigators in Boston most likely trying to find out dirt on Harvard admissions.

What about UF women's soccer?

To get into UF isn't something one pays money for bribes to get kids in like a Yale or Georgetown.

Actually that isn't at all how it started - it was discovered by accident as part of a different investigation

https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/20...kKP/story.html

"It started, improbably, with a securities fraud investigation out of Boston, a so-called pump-and-dump stock scam that extended overseas. FBI agents and federal prosecutors quickly homed in on a financial executive, according to several people familiar with the case, who said he was willing to cooperate with authorities. He also offered investigators a tantalizing tip, one entirely unrelated to stock prices — a Yale University women’s soccer coach had asked him for a bribe to help get his daughter admitted into the elite school.

By April 2018, the executive was wearing a recording device for the FBI when he met with coach Rudolph “Rudy” Meredith in a hotel room in Boston. For a payment of $450,000, Meredith said, he would be willing to designate the executive’s daughter as a recruit for the team, all but guaranteeing her acceptance. Meredith left with a $2,000 down payment, court records say.

With that, a low-profile securities investigation had led authorities to uncovering a massive college admissions scandal, a brazen plot in which wealthy parents allegedly schemed to bribe sports coaches at top colleges to admit their children. In a matter of months after that meeting in the Boston hotel room, Meredith had resigned from Yale, leaving no hint that he had been implicated in a bribery investigation. More importantly, he began cooperating with authorities, paving the way to Tuesday’s charges against 50 defendants, including celebrities, powerful financiers, and university coaches.[/QUOTE]

Watch the videos of her. She's just awful and more proof that "social media influencer" isn't a career path.

Neither are you. They're, There, Their. Pick one.

Hollywood is a place. Over there in Hollywood, they're (a contraction standing for they are with the apostrophe in place of the missing letter a) not so bright. Their (possessive adjective before a noun) offspring do not fall far from the tree.

A English teacher friend made a claim that her private school educated students were smarter. Is our education system rigged in favor of the rich?

Yes. Unbelievably so.
