I am so disappointed. Cal is no longer considered an elite college. Heck, Cal can't even get celebs to cheat their way into Berkeley. This may be the final nail in the coffin of the Bears' recruiting woes.socaliganbear said:

Only 20 or 30 years away from one of these kids making those claims while running for president, and the media lapping it up as if it were the absolute truth.socaliganbear said:
We're about 10 years away from one of these kids claiming they're self made. Earn their way types.

Why is this a scandal? Elite private schools have been admitting students when daddy donates a new library to the school. Has been happening for 100+ years.

It's always so bizarre to me that so many celebrities (fred Savage Reese witherspoon) and children of celebirites (Katie Couric, Tom hanks, Rob Lowe) get into Stanford.

Large bribes ($500k by one celeb) through a middle man to college coaches, to help facilitate admission, often under fake pretenses (kids were not athletes let alone schollie level).UCBerkGrad said:

I probably shouldn't post this on a public forum, but that Stanfurd POS XXXXXX someone I know--got off and now look at him. Infuriating. Was that on his college essay? Go Cardinal, quite the haven for this behavior it seems.okaydo said:
Is he involved?

If you slightly tweaked this scheme and had the money going directly to the universities (as opposed to individual coaches and middlemen) and took out the fake test scores you could literally arrest entire ZIP Codes in Connecticut and the Silicon Valley.

This is true but among the aspiring 3.5%ers where your kid goes to college is about social standing, the parents not the kids.
I demand a NCAA investigation, with certain college academic units put on probation, the loss of scholarships for certain majors, and culpable administrators, faculty members and the like banned from D1 colleges. Oh yes, and a major fine to the NCAA. If you can do it for athletic scandels, why not academic ones? BTW, North Carolina and TOSU are excused from sanctions just because that is the way we roll...socaliganbear said:
