Here is the list of parents who paid to get their otherwise unqualified off spring into upcale schools.

You have to gve Rick Spring some credit for crafting a scheme which would ensnare so many well to do people.

And what is the point of being bribed by not so well to do people?

hthis link includes a diagram of Springer's circle including coaches, test administrators, and parents

the A list of athletics are 'top schools, but Springer was clever to focus on the less well paid coaches like rowing.

What is amazing is just how many were easily drawn into the fraud.

Gordon Ernst – Georgetown Universiyt tennis coach

Lori Loughlin – tv personality

Felicity Huffman – ironically starring in  Desperate Housewives and wife of Bill Macy

and no less than Doupgllas Hodge   -former CEO of PIMCO

surely these parent are posters for lack of faith in their own offspring not to mention an admission of failure to raise them to higher esxpectations
