A legal review found the college admission scandal was an isolated case and made recommendations to prevent it from happening in the future.
No one expected a coach to accept a bribe for falsely recruiting athletes, so the University of Texas' controls weren't prepared to prevent the college admission scandal.
Center was one of many people indicted in March for playing a role in"Operation Varsity Blues," commonly referred to as the college admissions scandal. He was accused of accepting $100,000 in exchange for designating a prospective student as a recruit of the tennis team to facilitate the young man's admission to the state university.
"A core goal of any fraud is to avoid detection," the memo said."A student who is improperly admitted as a student-athlete cannot risk participating in activities that would expose the student's lack of athletic legitimacy." The memo recommended that the athletics director clearly communicate the university's standard of student-athlete admissions to staff to ensure they only recommend prospective students based on approved reasons. On the chance someone still slips through, athletics staff should be trained to identify and effectively communicate concerns to administrators.
