Rudolph ‘Rudy’ Meredith is scheduled to appear in federal court in Boston and plead guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud charges as part of an agreement to co-operate with prosecutors, according to court records

The former head coach of women’s soccer at Yale University on Thursday is set to admit he took bribes to help the children of wealthy parents get into the Ivy League school, becoming the third person to plead guilty to a role in the largest U.S. college admissions scandal.

He is among 50 people charged with participating in a scheme that helped parents buy admission to universities such as Yale, the University of Southern California and Georgetown University. The wealthy parents who were charged in the wide-ranging case included the actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman.

Meredith beginning in 2015 agreed with Singer to accept bribes to designate applicants as recruits to the Yale women’s soccer team regardless of their athletic abilities, according to charging documents. Singer sent Meredith a fabricated athletic “profile” for the student that claimed she was co-captain of a prominent California club soccer team, prosecutors said.
