which involved placing students in top colleges such as Yale
A lot of it was centered around USC, which is stupid. Loughlin's daughter is a smokeshow who should be commanding the runway in Milan - not going to USC. It would be more understandable if it was smart kids' parents trying to beat the Stanford lottery system or something. But who wants to pay $500K for a dumbass to get into USC?

The deadspin story has lots of tidbits from the actual filings - and they are highly amusing. Check out the water polo kid.

100% chance the majority of these parents are immigrants or non-US citizens. This is the culture you import when you import the 3rd world.
Did you come up with this inane observation yourself, our did you get it from somewhere else?

This is about school administrators and coaches committing fraud on the school by accepting bribes from criminal rackets that fix ACT and SAT scores, doctor school transcripts, and photoshop kids into athletic team photos. All through a fake charity to avoid taxes and conceal the nature of the payments.


Damn.....I'm in the wrong business.

The main takeaway from the deadspin article is that these parents, however misguided they are, really love their kids. And the kids are just total dipshits who dont appreciate anything. Hell, one dads was joking about telling his kid he needed a picture for 6 months! Of course the little shite never got the picture so they had to photoshop a pic. That to me was hysterical.

Says the idiot that went to TCU. You paid extra for what, coke priveledges?

Doesn't change the fact that all the schools mentioned are bastions of liberal thought. The u of texas has also been known to sell law school entries to the highest bidders.

They should lose their PUF portion and it should be distributed to the other schools in TX that are public and don't hide behind a facade of religion.

Baylor Rapists and TCU drug heads need not apply or comment. And can also frick right off.

This is how we have morons in DC running around with law degrees

No it's not. Getting into Law School is a completely different animal than undergrad. Yes we have a shite ton of dumbass lawyers in Congress but bribing their way into law school isnt how they got there.
I have a friend who was a 3 time Yale legacy who donate alooootttt to the school who didnt get in with a 3.99 GPA and 174 LSAT.
