I think at a minimum, the schools should go back thru the records and find out what honest, deserving, hard working applicant got bumped for one of these privileged kids, and offer them admission with a scholarship from the money improperly earned.
You must write comedy material because that was real funny, scholarship some middle class kid?
Chit, they can take out none government student loans - the kind the lender doesn't forgive and has a higher interest rate than the poor people loans the governement won't try to get paid back.
To answer some other "questions" I saw raised, apparently the school doesn't do much checking if a coach says he wants a kid in his program.
While the athletic programs that were used aren't money makers for the univeristy, and as such don't offer a lot of scholarship money,, their performance does enhance the schools overall appeal. When sports teams win, even in the smaller sports, it attracts more applicants and recognition for the school.
I don't recall if anything was said about attending class and doing homework, but none of them apparently played for the team they were being recruited for (no tennis matches, no rowing )
It was pretty much a known way to scam your way in. They paid money to attend and get guidance from that dude.
