Sorry
I’m overly sensitive about the important women in my life...
A-okay.
LOL
Distraction.
Or not. From collegefactual.com: "University of Southern California's standard financial aid offer for newly arriving first years is $44,395. About 63.0% of freshman students obtain some financial aid, most of which is scholarships and grants."
No one said that was the fraud so there is no reason to keep bringing that up.
I keep bringing it up because USC cannot demonstrate that it has been victimized by fraud if they can't show any loss of money, property or legal rights.
The fraud was on the university (fraudulently filling athletic spots with non-atheletes) and non-cheating students.
I've pointed out repeatedly on this thread that the students and prospective students are not defrauded parties by any legal definition. And the school clearly didn't think very much of the "athletic spots" if it accepted a stupid photo as evidence of athletic participation instead of doing even a minimal amount of research to verify the applicant's claim. Even something as simple as a phone call to a student-athlete's high school coach would be expected if the school had any interest in the "athletic" part of the student-athlete's background.
Has anybody ever questioned who gets the monies when the govt. settles multi million dollar suits against companies?
“And the school clearly didn’t think very much of the “athletic spots” if it accepted a stupid photo as evidence of athletic participation instead of doing even a minimal amount of research to verify the applicant’s claim.”
You seem not to understand the person at the school charged with overseeing admission for these spots was corrupt and took money to place non-athletes in these slots.
That was the scam. He got the money for faking that these students qualified for admission as athletes.
If you are arguing the university didn’t have much oversight, that would seem to be true.
Are you saying that the kid wasn’t even going to be rowing competitively at USC, and therefore a team coach had no involvement in vetting her application? That makes the story even more ridiculous. LOL.
Dumb question: Was the school admissions officer who accepted the bribes charged as a co-conspirator?
“Dumb question: Was the school admissions officer who accepted the bribes charged as a co-conspirator?”
Yes. 27-33 months in prison.

Yes. That was the scam.

The University of Southern California coach who created fake athletic profiles for the children of wealthy parents, including Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli, agreed to plead guilty in the college admissions scam on Tuesday.
Laura Janke, the 36-year-old former assistant women’s soccer coach at USC, will plead guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering, the US Attorney’s office said. She also agreed to cooperate with the government’s investigation and testify at trial if needed.
Prosecutors recommended that she be sentenced to 27-33 months in prison, the low end of the sentencing guidelines. They also agreed not to bring further criminal charges against Janke.
Janke was among a dozen coaches and test administrators indicted on a racketeering conspiracy charge in March as part of the admissions scam. In addition, 33 parents were charged with conspiracy to commit fraud for allegedly participating in the scheme.
Janke’s main role in the college admissions scam was to work with Rick Singer, the mastermind of the scheme, to create fake athletic profiles that made the children of wealthy parents appear to be highly successful athletes, thereby facilitating their entrance into selective universities.
