Kind of ironic that Frank Gallagher's son Lip was the one who used to take SAT and ACT exams for a fee so other students could get into good schools.

And come on, you don't remember Lori Laughlin from Full House? I had a crush on her back in the 90's.

Maybe when the convictions start coming down, some will finally move out of the country as they promised when Trump got elected.

20 to 1 this is not the only such scam going on.

This is accurate. However, the coaching offices are MORE than involved. It is interesting that the Will Wade controversy at LSU is proceeding at the same time. More to follow I am sure.

In that case, we are, undoubtedly, only hours away from these high-minded ethical "educators" resigning en masse from their tenured positions in protest, and calling for the firing of the administrators that "betrayed" them. I am pretty sure I cannot hold my breath as long as I've been holding my nose.

The apples didn't fall far from the tree either. Especially the younger apple...

One other thing, where is the outrage that all the perpetrators seem to be part of the "privileged by birthright" population. How long before we hear "another demonstration of the reality that the cost of college is just too high, if it were free for everybody, you wouldn't see these abuses?"

I forgot about Lip's SAT scam. Funny

No, I didn't watch "Full House" or the "Housewives" show the other one is in. Not my kind of television.

I love how Loughlin's spoiled daughter posted her "I'm just here to suck dick" video and then had to post her "I'm sorry for revealing to you how very empty I am" video in the wake of her revealing the ugly truth about herself.

Well, guess what, babycakes? Here comes real life, and mommy may end up being a felon, so you try to be supportive of her.

Maybe bake a file into a cake for her in the slammer, somethin' like that.

We used to see her at the mall, I guess with her mom.

I got curious about where she's from (didn't have the internet back then. lol) and this is already on her Wikipedia page.

This investigation needs to be expanded to see how AOC got into Boston University. We also need to know who was bribed for her to get a degree in Economics.

I'm pretty sure that most of the people listed here are pretty vain types and probably never shared with their friends and even families that they gave their kids a little "help" getting in some of these schools. Now they have to come clean that their "amazing" kids and lives aren't quite what they seem. Orange jump suits might be a nice touch too!

I stand corrected. Football was involved. USC has had its share of problems with its athletic program over the years. The following is paragraph on one of the football recruits:


McGlashan also paid to get his son accepted as a USC football recruit, prosecutors said. The problem: He attended a high school with no football program, so they said he was a punter.

The balls on these guys. I guess they thought nobody would check. Despite what some might say, USC has been a contender in college football. I cannot believe the other players did't notice. This would be a bigger story than RUDY. LOL

Fantastic story. Meanwhile, at the local college, parents are paying for their kids to learn how to grow and sell pot.
Very trendy.
But nothing yet on moonshine production.

Really, there isn't enough real crime out there for federal LE to waste their time on this nonsense. This is something the colleges should be handling on their own.

Want to make six, or even seven, figures on Wall Street? Better have an MBA from a top school.

Just came across this in one of the articles from the Fox News page, regarding Felicity Huffman...

"Huffman also runs a lifestyle blog that focuses on parenting."

I bet that blog is slap FULL of great parenting advice, considering it's coming from such an expert.

If I had 500k, I'd go to trade school and bank 450k. In 3 years I'd be a journeyman plumber making a good living, with a nice cushion in my portfolio.

Well if this is the case, I am sure they will just throw out the case. I ALWAYS use the above argument when I get pulled over for speeding.
