I saw Lori Loughlin at a grocery store in Los Angeles a couple years ago. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.

She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma’am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Where does Will Wade fit in all of this?


He was an assistant coach at Harvard in 2006-2008. Jeremy Lin was the star player.

This has nothing to do with anything but do we really need all those pesky facts to justify piling on him?

Tennis it’s easy to fool the administration sure, but most college players and pro players aren’t really the rich country club kids. Those kids usually suck arse

The coach honestly wouldn’t be able to bring the player to practice or even mention his name at all without the team knowing what’s up. That’s what I’m wondering about Michael center at Texas. How did he keep it from the rest of the team


Yeah, the other recruits would seem to catch on, but it's believable to and administrator that Lori Loughlin has some brat walking on as a tennis or water polo player. Trying to pass her as another sport walk-on is relatively impossible.



This chick hasn't played a sport in her life.

There’s a lot of people here that have clearly never seen a water polo player at somewhere like USC. They are massive. Look like football players. Some 5’9” unathletic brat would stand out. There’s zero chance any of these kids ever saw a pool let alone a practice.

So the FBI sent more agents to some women's houses then Navy Seals sent in to take down Bin Laden.
Well after this and the basketball investigation maybe the FBI can turn to investigating Hillary

If you're a parent who tosses your child to the fate of chance and whims of college admissions boards instead of leveraging power and connections you spent a lifetime accumulating you never loved your kid in the first place. "I love my kid so I'm going to roll the dice on their entire future and hope their ACT score and gpa and extracurricular activities differentiate them from hundreds of thousands of kids exactly like them rather than do my job as a parent and ensure the success of my bloodline."

Are you one of OweO’s alters?

What I really came here to post is that this admissions scandal has now, somehow, turned into a race thing

The most common sport played by those that were successful in completing Navy SEAL BUDS is water polo.

Well, we all know this is really a wealth and influence thing. The bottom line is, in this world, money talks. I've heard this line since I was a kid.

Y'all are not appreciating how this worked. Create a fake athletic portfolio with doctored pics and fake accomplishments. Bribe the coach. Coach uses one of his admit cards for student, not an athletic scholarship. Student withdraws from team before ever setting foot on campus, citing injury or burn out or any excuse. Admissions never even knows.

The defense better bring John Stamos in as a character witness during the trial so he can ask the judge to "Have mercy!".

100% correct, also with athletic admissions, only one person, the coach had to be bribed, most of these schools have a admissions committee for regular students, very difficult to bribe 8 or 10 people.
