Center is the head coach of the men’s tennis team at the University of Texas at Austin. According to court documents, a witness told investigators that in 2015, Center agreed to accept approximately $100,000 from the witness as a bribe, in exchange for Center to designate a student as a UT tennis team recruit, thereby facilitating his admission to UT. The documents said the student was a California resident who did not play competitive tennis... clients paid anywhere from $100,000 to $6.5 million... The University of Texas gave the following response to KVUE: “Federal authorities notified us this morning that we were victims of an organized criminal effort involving admissions. We have just become aware of charges against our Men’s Tennis Coach Michael Center and he will be placed on administrative leave until further notice while we gather information. We are cooperating fully with the investigation. Integrity in admissions is vital to the academic and ethical standards of our university.”

“Tip of the iceberg”
Yep and one of two things is going on right now. The FBI is wholly corrupt by coming out and saying that this does not involve any administration officials at these universities. There is absolutely no possible way that this is true. At a minimum there was a cover-up after the fact going on at these schools.
Either that or the FBI is trying to put others involved in this scheme at ease while they gather more information. You’ll need a flow chart to keep track of all the plea deals.
Weird how this is coming to light after Mr Trump takes office. Afterall, how would stopping pay-to-play hurt the previous, horribly corrupt administration? Answer: it wouldn’t!
Those that are would qualify for Wire Fraud, not Mail Fraud. You get caught either way.
Yes some sent wires too. And those phone conversations. The atty Caplan, biggie at Willie Farr,actually said he didn’t care about the moral aspects, but if caught the kid would be finished. All very brazen.
The Clinton’s and Obama’s sent their girls where they got the most money kicked back on top of the tuition
