They PAID to get into USC? I’d pay to be rejected!

They don't call USC the "University of Spoiled Children" for nothing.

The documents say the Loughlin and her husband "agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team -- despite the fact that they did not participate in crew -- thereby facilitating their admission to USC."

To the galleys with all of them!

Ramming speed!

Mossimo Giannulli wasn’t worried about his daughter’s
education - he was looking for ‘elite’ husbands for the two...

“$6 million to get your kid into Yale.

What is wrong with these people?”

Yes, our youngest daughter was accepted to virtually all of the schools mentioned. She ended up going to Boston University and obtaining a Degree, Magna Cum Laude, in Performance Music (Opera). She’s working as a Marketing Manager. Never did squat with her “degree.” And no one in her family paid off anyone for her to gain admittance, but we’re are still paying on our home mortgage for her tuition.
The whole university “system” across the country is predicated on liberating parents life savings (or student loans) for mostly useless degrees from equally useless “professors” (who earn inordinate salaries far beyond their worth as teachers) who spend a large portion of each year living large off of the money they earn in some far off place.

"So WHO outright admits that their kid is TOO stupid to succeed on his/her own?"

Just a guess but maybe rich East and Left Coasters who were too busy with their own careers to pay much attention to their sprong?

Invariably those are the ones who fall in love with a plumber and elope.

More likely they don’t want to be the subject of cocktail party whispers of “did you know that her daughter could not get accepted anyplace better than ASU?” It’s all a status thing with them.

well with a $25 million scheme on the table I can understand why the number of agents as well as just the arrests alone would require a number of agents for 33 people.........and this is ongoing...they’re not finished yet.

Did they cheat on their IQ tests, too? Might be how they were caught.

"Today's arrest should be a warning to others," the FBI's Joseph Bonavolonta said. "You can't pay to play. You can't cheat to get ahead, because you will get caught."

I'm laughing so hard at that one I can hardly breathe!

Not for nothing but you could have said no. I’m sure UMass has a similar program for a lot less.

Just a theory. The reason the husbands haven’t been indicted is because the women are going to play the sex card.

“In most cases, the students did not know their admission was contingent on a bribe.”
Yeah- a kid who was never on a crew team, all of a sudden gets admitted to a BIG university as a crew member. Sounds like the kid probably wouldn’t have known!!
What a joke of a statement!!
These asshats could of taken a seat away from my kid at one of these schools!!
Is there a lawsuit against one of these schools by me?? Hmmmm!!!!

Idiots, they should have simply had their kids mark “Native American Indian” as their race.
