Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin and a slew of chief executives are among 50 wealthy people charged in the largest college cheating scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice, federal officials said Tuesday.
Those indicted in the investigation, dubbed "Operation Varsity Blues," allegedly paid bribes of up to $6.5 million to get their children into elite colleges, including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and the University of Southern California, federal prosecutors said.

I wonder if we’ll ever see her SAT/ACT scores, or her college transcripts? AOC is an embarrasment to higher education.
I went to BC and will never forget Maria Shiver’s eulogy for Tim Russert.
Back story - Tim Russert’s kid went to BC and Tim would show up to basketball games and paint his chest with BC. He’d also wear a BC tie on the news. As an alum - we loved it. He was great for attendance.
At his eulogy, Maria told a story about her daughter being waitlisted at BC. They asked Tim “Can you help us out here?” and his response “Hmm, I don’t know, you kind of have to know somebody here”.
Was very proud that BC wasn’t just letting a Kennedy in for being a Kennedy. Also was upset because a lot of us thought “who cares if she isn’t bright - we want to see Arnold with ‘BC’ painted on his chest at games!”
It’s funny looking back - Shiver’s daughter ended up at USC.
You also have to think that this is tip of the iceberg. Wealthy people purchasing a college degree for their dumb, useless and spoiled children is nothing new under the sun.
AOC’s SAT/ACT scores are probably about average. She actually graduated with honors at Boston College for what that’s worth. I guess it depends upon what classes she took.
Part of what makes her look like a dope is that she is reciting radical tripe probably given to her by Saikat Chakrabarti and Zack Exley and Cenk Uygur, and as soon as she gets off script she doesn’t know what to say.
The schools will continue to pay those “fired”.
They want this bribery to continue.
Question on SAT for AOC: How many kids fit inside a cage from Wells Fargo?
well done!
The other part is....she IS a dope. She seldom utters a coherent sentence.
Obama was horrible when he went off-script, but he sounds like a scholar compared to her.
Obama used a Teleprompter more than AOC, assuming that she uses one at all. So those two might actually be tied.
