Screw a fine. You or I would get time. They possibly prevented a truly deserving kid going to a school they chose. They can’t make it right by a fine. They can do the crime they can do the time. Trouble with our younger people is their parents suck.
All of these colleges are running various scams. In this case, based on reporting....a lot of these kids were coming into athletic programs where they were going to be given ‘slacker-classes’ and extra grading chances to slide by. Think about that for a minute. It means these kids weren’t capable of handling college in the first place.
Go look around all the first-year students who will fail out after one year, mostly because they were slacker-types. We are wasting tens of thousands of seats because of the fraudulent way that universities are running the system.
I agree, and yes there are plenty of other classes of criminals out there too that deserve incarceration (such as many in the political class), but. And heres the but, sometimes ones highest and best use is to serve as a warning to others and to that end I say “lock ‘em up”.

I like your comment. Think about it - is it much different than standing at entrance to one of these schools and blocking certain people from going in. After all, that is what they effectively did.
And HELL YES, these clowns have ALWAYS been able to ‘buy their way’ out of trouble. So tough crap, it’s time that they feel a bit of pain - perhaps that will help them understand the hurt they impose on others a bit more. Sets a GREAT EXAMPLE for their spoiled-rotten children too.
As to the ‘cost’, give them the option of cutting a bit off their years in jail if they pay enough fines to cover their cost, in addition to still serving most of their sentence.
But they do need PAIN, we can’t survive as a society with multiple sets of rules for people.
Yeah, let’s start peeling that onion. Universities are full of students who played some card to get in at the expense of another student more academically qualified who was then denied. It’s all a hustle.
