- University of Southern California Los Angeles’ head men’s soccer coach, Jorge Salcedo, who is among those charged in the biggest admissions fraud scheme uncovered in the United States, resigned his post Thursday, school officials told several media outlets including the New York Post. Salcedo was one of nine current or former college coaches, as well as an associate athletic director, who were charged by federal prosecutors in Boston on March 12 in connection with the fraud scheme that has captured national attention.
According to court documents, Salcedo was among school officials who are accused of accepting bribes in exchange for designating admissions candidates as recruited athletes to increase their chances of gaining acceptance at elite universities. UCLA officials placed Salcedo on leave on last week after learning he was charged with accepting up to $200,000 for helping two students gain admission by posing as competitive soccer players.Reporting by Rich McKay, Editing by William Maclean

May seem like a small thing but I wish you would point out it's the MEN'S soccer coach, not the women's coach. Also it's USC's women's coach Khosroshahin who was indicted for taking money, not the UCLA women's coach. It's a weird story
University of Southern California Los Angeles? c’mon, you can do better, Reuters. a faux pas like that is embarrassing.
Fraudsters should be required to pay up.....
Looks like someone’s headed to the ivy leagues!

The rich buying names on college buildings is ‘legal bribery,’ Gov. Gavin Newsom saysGov. Gavin Newsom, during a national media tour to defend his decision to ban California death row executions, decried 'legal bribery' in the college admissions process, including favors given to big donors. Newsom's comments come amid the college admissions scandal that touched UCLA and USC. Typical liberal response. The law doesn't matter. Waaaaa waaaaaa There is nothing against the law making a contribution to a school. The current bribery scandal is salacious because of the celebrities involved, but the real issue is the legal bribery Governor Newsome mentions and the relaxed standards for student-athletes.
