I dont think it should get someone jail time. However going off of the post @BenningRoadSkin made above it would be such an in justice in my mind if it didnt come with some jail time. Lady getting 3 years just for changing her address. Thats wild. And i know thats petty. Its why I dont think I could be a judge. Those sentences were ridiculous if that's all they were based on.

I wonder if this will impact their kids (who a lot of are adults) too? Expulsions, pulled degrees, job firings, or possible fraud charges? Yea, we all thought Paul Manafort would get more than 7 years for decades of illegality. As with Manafort, I hope these folks are made an example out of because, as I noted above, that would do a lot to halt this practice, but my hopes are not very high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, fry all of their asses. It'll NEVER happen though...ever. This **** pisses me off so badly. I mean is the Georgetown tennis coach so underpaid that he's willing to take a bribe and tell the University that she's a tennis recruit to get her admitted? Checks story..... https://bit.ly/2T5rcwH Hmmm....$225,000 per student x 12 students....what the hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanya MacDowell was sentenced to five years because of selling drugs to an undercover officer after she got arrested for the school issue. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tanya-mcdowell-sentencing/ Quote Tanya McDowell, the Bridgeport mom arrested for sending her 5-year-old son to a Norwalk elementary school and while out on bond was picked up for selling drugs to undercover officers five times, was sentenced to five years in prison and another five years of probation after pleading guilty to drug and larceny charges. In April [2011], McDowell received national sympathy from education advocates after Norwalk police arrested her for sending her son to Brookside Elementary School in Norwalk while they alleged that she was really living in Bridgeport. McDowell claimed that she was homeless at the time — spending many nights in her van — and wanted a good education for her son, A.J., while she was working in Stamford. Several weeks later, she was arrested for selling drugs to Norwalk undercover officers on five occasions in Norwalk and Bridgeport. When she was picked up on the drug charges, police found her in front of Brookside Elementary School holding 30 small bags of marijuana and 23 small bags of crack cocaine, prosecutor Tiffany Lockshier said during her sentencing hearing. In Bridgeport, McDowell pleaded guilty to two counts of sale of narcotics to undercover officers in Bridgeport and when she is sentenced faces up to five years in jail for those convictions. Kelly William-Bolar was sentenced to 9 days in jail https://wzakcleveland.com/2978372/local-news-kelley-williams-bolar-felony-reduced-to-misdemeanors/ Quote He chose to stray from the parole board’s recommendation. Gov. John Kasich instead used his executive clemency authority to reduce the felony offenses of the Akron mother in the school district switching case. Kelley Williams-Bolar was convicted in January 2011 of two felony records tampering charges. The Akron mother lied and used her father’s address to illegally enroll her two daughters into the Copley-Fairlawn School District and spent nine days in jail. Interestingly, the parole board unanimously recommended that the clemency petition be rejected. So Kasich downgraded the convictions from a felony to a misdemeanor to avoid adverse effects on Williams-Bolar's job as a teacher's aide. (Looks like she was sentenced to 9 days under the felony conviction, so that's not a result of the clemency). Another article discusses some legal options Williams-Bolar had to send her children to a different school https://fordhaminstitute.org/ohio/commentary/whats-not-being-said-williams-bolar-case With that all said, the people found guilty of these college admission schemes should go to jail. Also, the kids should be strictly investigated to find out how much they knew (for example, if your parents want you to pose for crew or water polo and you never played in your life and then you're admitted as a walk on to the sports team you've never played in your life, warning bells aren't gonna go off?). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think it is actually USC's yacht. It appears the yacht belongs to a member of the USC Board of Trustees. Somebody gets lazy on the details and everybody else jumps on the mis-reported thing. https://www.today.com/news/lori-loughlin-s-daughter-was-usc-board-chairman-s-yacht-t150360 (and no, this isn't why college costs are going up. Decline in public investment as compared to increases in people going to college (many schools are actually spending less now per a student to educate people than they were decades ago, but they are also educating more people, while when adjusted for inflation getting less money from states), health care costs, and increased administrative costs (associated with things like Title IX compliance) are way tuitions are going up.)

LD0506 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Quote The Secretary of Education suggested that, rather than keeping children in the dark about the bribes that enable their college acceptances, “Parents should sit around the kitchen table with their kids and work on some fun math problems together.” “Let’s say it’ll cost Amber seventy-five thousand dollars to get into Stanford, and it’ll cost her twin brother Dylan seventy-five thousand to get into Georgetown,” she said. “How much money total will their parents have to wire?” “Or let’s say Jenna has a 470 verbal score, but she needs a 730 to get into Yale,” DeVos said. “How much will she have to pay to get her score changed?” https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/betsy-devos-suggests-that-bribing-colleges-helps-students-learn-math?utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_source=nl&utm_brand=tny&utm_mailing=TNY_Borowitz_031419&utm_medium=email&bxid=5bd66cef2ddf9c619437bddc&user_id=11262749&esrc=bounceX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that colleges could fund their athletic departments if they wanted to, without the billions generated by media rights. Football and basketball would still fund the rest, but the money involved would be much smaller (which would not necessarily be a bad thing). As the economics of college sports currently exist, college basketball would make exactly the same amount of money if the true stars were not forced to play a year in college. The media rights for the 2019 NCAA basketball season were sold far in advance of anyone knowing one guy was really good. Also, I think it is 100% fair to pay the athletes in only the revenue generating sports. I also think it's obviously fair to allow every athlete, in any sport, to monetize their own likeness.
