Boston Celtics assistant coach Jerome Allen testified that he took about $300,000 in wire transfer bribes while he was the head coach at Penn to give a scholarship to the son of a Florida businessman, according to Scott Gleeson of USA Today.

In October, Allen pleaded guilty to bribery charges and there is a chance he sees time in prison. Back in July, it was reported that Allen received money from Philip Esformes to get his son Morris Esformes into Penn.

Lol! IIRC, Cadet Bone Spurs transferred in to Penn (likely after his dad pulled some strings and greased some wheels).

They don't. The Yahoo writer misreported the content of the USA Today article.

That USA Today article says that Allen got the Esformes kid into Penn by designating him as a priority recruit.

They don't. But they still offer full admission to all their incoming freshmen team members. Which is the crux of the matter.

Maybe the scholarship limitation applies to sports like football and basketball, but not rowing?

I'm informed by a young man I know who attended Wharton that great suspicion exists that Trump never graduated from that special school within Penn. Has Trump ever displayed his Penn/Wharton diploma?
