1 million might not be enough, I guess. It depends on how dumb the kids are, how prominent the parents are, and how good the schools are.
Think of it as a sliding scale, like the Clearinghouse does with standardized testing and high school GPA to determine eligibility of D1 athletes.
The people in the probe (who are likely not going to get any jail time) are all wealthy but not as prominent as A-list actors, investment bankers at bulge brackets, or people with 10+ family members who are legacies.

I love how imbeciles like you imagine the FBI is not large enough to investigate filthy rich people illegally giving universities money.

Is $1 million not enough?
I get your point, but giving " $1 million each to establish a center for television and media studies" to USC would be even more conspicuous. People like George Lucas, Spielberg, Ron Howard, give millions of dollars to the film school annually, sometimes giving tens or hundreds of millions in special gifts. A million bucks toward a TV and media studies is not a thing.
And for god's sake, leave my film school out of this!

Water polo is one shark away from being the most popular sport on Earth

You went to a damn fine film school, though. I knew a student from Hong Kong who was lucky enough to go there, and the workload is no joke.
Also, you're right about the money. I forgot that USC recently had a $6 billion capital campaign. By California standards, Laughlin and Huffman were trying to get in on the cheap.

Who fricking cares?
You think 200 years of Harvard and Yale were "just the people that deserved admission?"
Jesus Christ outward bribe, inward bribe, legacy, blue-blood, politics, connections...
It's same as it ever was and doesn't deserve some massive resources of tax-payers dollars.
Who gives a shite?????? So some kid who shouldn't have gotten in or maybe was borderline got in...how does this investigation help the country?
And no, the FBI doesn't have unlimited resources despite what you watch on TV and there are FAR GREATER injustices and crimes going on in America than some stupid arse bullshite that a few kids got into some Universities they probably didn't deserve to get into.
It's just a fricking waste of resources, taxpayer dollars and time.
You want to waste your taxpayer dollars on this - go ahead, be my guest. But there are bigger fish to fry.

My understanding is that the original cases of this were stumbled across while doing other cases such as a Medicaid fraud investigation where one such target had bribed coaches at Penn to get his son in as a recruited athlete.
Finding the original case is usually the hard part. Once a pattern is spotted, it is a matter of watching things and taking notes.
