That’s never happened before, someone buying their way into the Ivy League?  It’s a playground for the well connected and rich.  

Evidently a play ground for crooks as well......

Per article:

Allen, in testimony in federal court Friday, admitted to receiving approximately $300,000 from the aforementioned father of a recruit which came to light with that man, Philip Esformes, was accused of falsely filing about $450 million of false Medicare and Medicaid claims in Florida, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

That would be the former Penn coach getting caught up – albeit tangentially – in a federal probe of nearly HALF A BILLION DOLLARS in fraudulent claims because the guy the government was after was paying Allen to get his son on the Quakers’ basketball team, according to Allen’s testimony.

FBI announcement coming in about 20 minutes!  Coaches at some high profile D-1 schools expected to be among 40+ people charge in a nationwide college admissions cheating and recruitment scheme.  No indication if any schools/coaches are from or in Indiana.

 

Names to surface are current/former coaches from Yale, Georgetown, USC, Wake Forest and Texas are a few

Thanks for the heads up.  Suppose it will be on one of the ESPN channels ?

The FBI NEEDS to check on the recruitments of Derrick Rose (someone else, taking his qualifying exams ), and Eric Bledsoe ( No way he could quality, IMHO)  Both are part of what the FBI is accusing others schools of today. 

Also... FBI talking about tax fraud.
