How does a college administrator afford a 100 million dollar yacht? This stinks to high Heaven.

Pull all of it down. As a matter of fact, just close the state of California altogether. Send all the illegals back home and just shut the fucking doors. Unbelievable, despicable garbage!

It looks like his money came from real estate. Given his involvement, perhaps his real estate business deserves a bit of scrutiny.

With Tax Evasion of this level- How far back and how detailed of an audit can these people expect?

It would be an amazingly high level of fraud to be some ones First foray into Tax Evasion.

OK, but is it true that Martha Stewart can show you how to make a paper hat from a folded federal subpoena?

He may deserve scrutiny, but if I read correctly, he is on the Board of Trustees. In that role, he receives no monetary compensation from the school. In fact, it is quite the opposite. He would have been named to the BOT because he was already wealthy, had an affinity for the school and likely contributed money to it.

He may deserve scrutiny, but it wouldn't be related to this scandal.

Interesting that this scam pivots around the 'need' to relax/disable admission standards in pursuit of sports victories.

Of course the 'quality of play' in college games would be less without admitting athletes with sub-standard academic credentials. Horrors. Think of the lost revenues, the lost programming time all those fall Saturdays. Can't have that.

So, yeah, give coaches a free pass to pack their teams with whoever they feel they need. What could go wrong?

Who is taking their tests and writing their term papers once they are accepted? I am sure there is a huge support structure for them to not flunk out. Amazing that faculty would turn a blind eye to what is happening. It would be easy to spot them. Money can do wonders.

Flunk out? No no no. Not in today's modern enclaves of higher learning. No one flunks out of college anymore.

Board member, not administrator. You get to be a board member of a university by giving it vast amounts of money. Actually he is (and maybe soon to be former) chairman of the board. So he likely gave the most money.

I wonder if this is someone JAllen would have run into in his years in SoCal?

Maybe they should eyeball David Hogg’s admission into Harvard.

I think that is why the government is so mad. And anti-bribery statutes. As is seen in this thread, this creates resentment against education and foments social discord. I think the US Attorney is right to care about this.

They are making an example out of these people. Like with Martha Stewart and Wesley Snipes.

Good Point, making an example.

They ought to prosecute some of our Government officials who do not pay their taxes too.

Knew this was coming....

Students who did not get in are now suing the colleges that participated in this corruption.

Bingo.

Most of those Trustees are simply there to raise money and connect the wealthy to the school. Look at any of the major private universities and this is Standard Operating Procedure. Connections, networking, building up your contacts, keeping in touch...it's all the strategies you've heard at job fair seminars and self-help books. It all starts before the kids are even born, parents making down-payments to simply 'get in line' at the most exclusive Montessori school. Before long, the parents are working out arrangements to get their kids placed at the most exclusive prep-school, country day school, etc... Look at all the high schools around Washington DC and north of NYC..the amount of smug and money is nauseating. Miles and miles of tracks greased up towards an endowment the size of a modest African country. Everybody but the school janitor and cafeteria staff is making six-figures...and they're probably not too far behind. One can only hope that such activities gets burned to the ground.

Good. Light them up.

If this was in athletics instead of academics (and this partially is I guess) the whole mess would fall squarely under the heading of "lack of institutional control." The failure of these universities to prevent this is going to hurt them. Way too deep in money to destroy them, but bet it will leave a mark.

Well I'm surprised there isn't a sexual component to all this yet particularly with the Hollywood sleaze and all the other elitists involved it seems there always is with these people. Maybe there's more to come. A billionaire with a yacht full of young college girls? Mkay!

At the 10:30 mark, he starts talking about that smamry little know-it-all shit David Hogg.

Don't think the billionaire was there but, a yacht full of self-absorbed tarts, taking selfies while abusing the staff & crew with senseless demands. No doubt one or two of them is developing enough parental issues that sucking-off a guy 20-25 years her senior and leaching off of him, is a future career consideration.

I can't think of anything much better than to see that little prick Hogg get taken down in all this. The DNC would abandon him faster than Christine Blasey Ford. He'd be thrown on the heap of used tools.

Local media immediately ran to NMU to see what their deal was. The Admissions chick went into a lengthy explanation of how admissions were all on the up and up. Blah, blah, blah.
Right!
