I told my daughters, whose kids are all in elementary grades, that they need to start developing their faux sports profiles now

She’s GUILTY as sin ( not to mention FUGLY! ), you need eyeglasses, and a morality check.

One mostly ignored asepct of this story is Title IX, specifically the ‘halo effect’ that scares off any criticism or scrutiny of women’s programs...as well as the chancers who operate these programs with impunity and who are even praised for non-achievements ie merely for being female.

The USC coach, in particular, was being eyed up as a mover and shaker and clearly being groomed for PC token stardom.

“No soccer experience, but she still got a spot on elite UCLA team “

Universities got scammed by their employees who took bribes.

There are about 400 links to articles on the Communist News Network homepage, not one on this major scandal.

Soccer is not a sport where you can fake it. I wonder if the plan was for her to come down with an “injury” before practice started and to sit out the season when the dang stubborn muscle pull refused to heal.

Still not sure why this is news.

Rich people buying their kids into college is not new. To be honest it is the norm.

What the heck is this all connected to? A women’s soccer scholarship is weak sauce all things considered.

For passing their daughter off as a recruited athlete, Bruce and Davina Isackson gave [Rick] Singer’s charity 2,150 shares of Facebook stock, valued at about $250,000, the FBI affidavit says.

It has not been a good time for women’s sports lately. First boys identifying as girls winning competitions. Now girls getting athletic scholarships on false pretenses.

I’d be embarrassed to be put on an outstanding athletic team where it would become immediately obvious that I had no talent whatsoever. I don’t know how these girls can hold their heads up.

Title IX makes these scams possible.
