Kinda feel bad for the kids if any really didn't know (doubtful).



So a kid who is going to college on a rowing scholarship, but has never rowed in their life, they have no clue that something is wrong? That's rich!

This is the opposite of the American dream. That certain experiences should be reserved for the elite is a very socialist/liberal/feudal ideal. The American dream is ‘work hard and be rewarded’. By rigging the game, they defrauded untold numbers deserving, hard working students. They should hang, I hope they all do jail time.

Liberals are much bigger hypocrites than conservatives and it isn't even close.

Is this the chick that has the video saying she just wanted to go to college for the experience and would not be going to class?

Exactly. SJL is easily one of the dumbest people to ever serve in Congress. She's an oxygen thief.

it could get much better if politicos are named doing the same thing. Obama's, Bush's, Clinton's paid to get Chelsea in a beauty pageant ivey league crossfit deal.

You see nothing wrong with kids who have zero athletic ability getting awarded athletic scholarships based solely on a parent's bribe?

That would definitely be a pay for play move. Is there enough money even out there to make Chelsea beautiful?

Heard this morning that one of the girls received a rowing scholarship to one of the schools.

She has never rowed a boat.

I'm guessing she knew what was up.


Exactly, I'm finding it very hard to have sympathy for any of these people except for possibly the few students that just barely missed the cut for these universities that would have made it if it hadn't been for these rich elitists and their ability to circumvent the rules.

Let me say, I am not bothered by this at all.

I think there is little reason for the FBI to concern itself with matters like this when the schools are private.

Cheating on a test is a federal offense?

I am not saying it is not wrong and there should not be consequences for cheating. But a private school should be able to allow in anyone that is willing to pay extra?
