Crazy. Big money buying access to liberal education now.
The free tuition crowd going love this.
It’s safer to give a building if you want your kid in just saying.
Rumor of the tip of this possibly came about from the LSU scandal.

Has Will Wade been under investigation? The posters on Tigerdroppings all claim that LSU is not under investigation, but that the taped conversation that lead to his suspension is going to be used by a defendant in the scandal as an exhibit for the defense.

It seems to me if he's been suspended, LSU brass thinks there might be something there. Reading Tigerdroppings is amusing, for sure!

And no, I've never posted there.

if Willie Wade ain't under investigation, why did he refuse to attend a meeting called by the University Prez and AD under the advice of Counsel ?...

I don't know, but I do know that the tape was on public record in OCTOBER. Why lawyers give certain advise is beyond me. And I come from a long line of lawyers. Bob Dylan wrote a song about my Grandfather's client, Joey Gallo, aka Crazy Joe. (Added since we're playing "Did you know" on the other thread!)

"In one case, a former USC women’s soccer coach and the consultant allegedly worked together in 2017 to help a client’s child get into Yale in exchange for $1.2 million from the family. A false athletic profile created for the student said she played competitive soccer and had been on China’s junior national development team."

This explains how Zhang got into Tulane!

Zhang was recruited by schools with a WHOLE LOT BETTER basketball (and in some cases academic) pedigree than Tulane. He also won (mythical) HS national championships at two different HS's and scored 25 points against one of the powerhouse HS programs in the country his Senior year in the (mythical) National Championship Game.

You need to wake up and get a clue, as yours is yet another brilliant post.

It pleases me to no end seeing the "non-revenue" sh*itbird coaches finally experiencing public ridicule & scorn for once in their lives.

The status being bought here is more like a preferred walk-on solely for the purpose of gaining entrance to the university. They would never participate in any athletic capacity once they were accepted. Kevin Zhang is legitimate.

It is intriguing to me what kind of similar operations must exist on the east coast. Most of this was west coast.

I had a few wealthy friends from Latin America who openly spoke about having someone else take their SAT’s.

I knew of a couple of international students with the same M.O. I also knew, and am good friends with a number of Latin Americans that were absolutely brilliant, and I'm sure their SAT scores blew mine out of the water.

Latest joke from LSU: " INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL is when we ask after the deeds for an explanation" NOT . Institutional control is proper "control" of those in your control .
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .

There should be serious consequences for the law firm that put her on the class action suit without permission.

Wade and LSU may be in hot water for recruiting violations, but nobody is going to pay bribes to get into LSU.

In regards to the bribe-for-admittance scandal, how can these non-revenue sports coaches get these bogus kids into USC, Stanford, Texas and Yale? Don’t these schools have a centralized admittance process? Or is each coach given an a number of admittance slots that they can sell?

if there is a student body "quota' percentage, the team sports are exempt from that mandate

The athletic teams may be exempt from any quota systems, but how do minor sports get kids into the universities—especially wealthy offspring of movie stars, politicians, executives, etc, who don’t even want to be there.

the answer is simple...the Coach gets paid off....the kid is admitted, then has an "injury", unable to compete, but still gets to stay in school.....since they are "injured" the coach can then go and recruit another kid since they do not count against the schollie limit....as Sonny and Cher once sang..."The beat goes on"

But how does the “paid” coach get an academically unqualified student past the admissions process? The scandal brings into question the entire admissions process of the universities involved. I guess if the bogus athlete meets NCAA minimums, they’re in. Does Tulane accept the NCAA minimums for all the non-revenue sports? Given we supposedly only recently ended the disastrous “Tulane Model” for our major revenue sports, I presumed that our academic requirements for the non-revenue sports were well above NCAA minimums—perhaps not.
