Hollywood Celebrities & Others Indicted In College Admissions Scam

[candycorn]

Paying a bribe for the coach to pretend that your daughters are outstanding rowers ("crew") in order to get an athletic scholarship, or THE FACT THAT SUCH ELITE SCHOOLS WOULD AWARD A FOUR-YEAR FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO SOMEONE FOR ROWING A FUCKING BOAT?

Athletic scholarships to college are an abomination, and should be abolished, with cheaters executed.

All college sports should be abolished unless it's a private U...

Heaven forbid the parents actually make their children study and get good grades to EARN their way into college! If their kids are that lazy or stupid, spend the money on tutors.

You can't make most of those parents do anything. They are busy making speeches on hating Trump. Kids? Baa...they're fine. They're playing video games..

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Does anybody believe Trump got into college based on his intelligence and not money?

I'll put it this way, I didn't doubt the claim by Michael Cohen about how Trump went to great lengths to prevent his college grades and SAT scores from becoming public.

That's because you don't understand federal law in regards to educational records. You must give permission for anyone to access your educational records, and that goes from the dumbest high school dropout to Ivy League graduates.

Nah, it's because I understand how the real world works.

You don't! Look up FERPA. Educate yourself!

According to that "logic" this college scam couldn't have happened because it's against the law.

You cannot force someone to not do something that it already against the law in the first place. You didn't look it up did you?

I want you to not release my educational records because it already illegal for you to do so without my permission! Dumbass!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I can't believe that these celebrities are going to get off with probation and fines. Isn't that what they did to get in trouble? Pay off and the world will still turn.

How do you know this?

There were no scholarships given. That was the way to just get them admitted!

 

[Unkotare]

The Ivy League schools don’t give athletic scholarships.

 

[Unkotare]

...

Athletic scholarships to college are an abomination....

Because YOU could never get one, Poindexter?

Anything else YOU were never good enough for that should therefore be banned?

That’s just stupid. Since Ancient Greece it has been recognized that a complete education includes the physical. One of the many reasons why America has the best universities in the world is the sense of community the best schools foster.

Clearly what I was talking about was the citizens of Ohio sending the Ohio State Football team or the Ohio State Volleyball team to Nebraska to play a meaningless football or volleyball game.

You can have physical education; you don't need million dollar athletic budgets that raise tuition, take time away from studies, endanger the health of students etc...

You frail, bitter little idiot. Who says those games are meaningless? And it seems to have missed you completely that athletics spur enrollment, increase a sense of community, and bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from alumni. You are a shortsighted little weakling.

Life.

And it seems to have missed you completely that athletics spur enrollment,

Arguable under the best of circumstances.

Successful teams spur enrollment. Most teams are not successful.

increase a sense of community,

Laughable. Zion Williams is already trying on NBA jerseys. It's a rarity to see top players spend their entire allotment at their university.
As for the fans...I imagine they could find something else to do. Here's an idea, attend a game where the shirts play the skins or an inter-squad game or whatever. Last year, the taxpayers of Michigan sent their Michigan State football team to Arizona State to play a football game. Yep...it probably cost the taxpayers upwards of $100K to send the team, their equipment, the band, the cheerleaders, the support staff.

Nobody in Michigan enjoyed a "sense of community" from that expenditure...did they?

and bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from alumni.

Perhaps the alumni could invest in the education at their universities....

You are a shortsighted little weakling.

You're picking a fight. And losing. Badly.

Answer me this:

If college sports bring in millions of dollars from TV, from alumni, from ticket sales, from concessions, from shoe contracts, from radio contracts, from other events....

Why isn't tuition free?

Where is all the money they are bringing in going? I'll give you 3 guesses:

A). The Athletic Department
B). The Athletic Department
C). The Athletic Department

Strange how the conservatives are not accusing the FBI or abuse of power, corruption, being on the take, or incompetence when they arrest Hollywood actresses....

The agents who arrested Ms. Huffman had their guns drawn when they came early in the morning.

By the same token, you'd think CNN would have had reporters standing by outside of their home...where was CNN all of the sudden?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Does anybody believe Trump got into college based on his intelligence and not money?

Wonder how many Rhodes scholars were paid for.... lol

None. The UK has certain standards and none of them are paid for.

If you want to know how a Rhodes Scholar is chosen, read this...

https://www.usnews.com/education/ar...e-to-start-if-you-want-to-be-a-rhodes-scholar

Anything that has the selection of slick Willy, pretty much disqualifiers it as legitimate

Even when Trump himself selected slick willy?

That makes Trump disqualified for your cult worship then right?

Or is that being too intellectually consistent?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Not to go “what about….” on you but this is nothing new. It’s how W got into Yale.

Or Barry into Havaaaard. No way that dumbfuck was Ivy material

Why do you folks keep claiming Obama as being dumb -- yet according to you sycophants, he was smart enough to be the only president to not have ANYONE in his cabinet/campaign/etc indicted, let alone convicted...in decades

Even tho, according to you sycophants, he is the most corrupt evil murderous criminal president in the history of civilization -- and despite that, yall couldn't even get an indictment on his gardener?

Meanwhile, according to you sycophants -- Obama (despite being dumb) was smart enough to mastermind the Deep State and control lifelong republicans to the point he made them investigate and indict their own administration?

Yea...he is so dumb....but smarter than Trump

Obama was just point man, a cut out.

He is CIA, like GHWBush.

It is why everyone in the Bush clan voted for him. It's why the republic has become a banana republic.

The fact that Holder ignored a subpoena from congress should be all you need.

He was in the Bush clan, did he vote for it too?

Clan? I'd lay odds you couldn't name him and what he does without looking it up!

I know who John Bolton is -- I also know how you future Trumptards were all in favor of worshipping neo-cons back then...you guys even brought Elliot Abrams back and I don't recall one Trump lover saying shit about it....you trumpers despise those with memories, because we have to keep reminding you of how full of shit you are...

Remember when you future Trump lovers were Bush lovers?? Remember when you said anyone who spoke out against Bush were terrorists, traitors, etc?

If you pretend that you were not one of them, you have proved my point...I would pretend I wasn't one of them either if I were you....but its cool, you will have your chance to pretend again after Trump is out of office for a couple of years..

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

It's sad that among all of this, no one has said anything negative about legacy admissions -- despite is racist conception....oh well....

I'll take you at your word that release of records is illegal. But again, as I've already posted, let's live in the real world.

By your responses I'm led to believe your position is that because the release of educational records is illegal there is insufficient need for proactive re-enforcement of notice of that legality. I expect this would take the form of a lawsuit threat.

You are aware that college personnel played role in one aspect of the college admission scam?
