NCAA Coaches: Bribing Players

[CFPBuckeye]

how much does it cost to go to USC?

Maybe their kids are just really stupid and couldn’t get in otherwise?

Edit: should have read on after reading this post. They are really stupid.

So some parents take large sums of money for their kid to attend a certain school where they will earn a ton more money for that school and eventually earn tons of money themselves in the pros. Other parents will pay large sums of money for their talentless child to go to a school and do nothing? That’s a bigger sham than the athlete. How the fuck does that happen?

Also...USC doesn’t have a lacrosse team? Dafuq?

Just catching up on all this and I’m befuddled.

I'm shocked. Just shocked that a bunch of finance people are included in this group. I mean, you think they would have learned their lesson after so many of them ended up in jail as a result of the subprime mortgage crisis a year ago. (note sarcasm font through the whole thing).

Uncle Jesse did the same thing to gain acceptance into the elitist preschool. This feels like it is his fault.

Frankly the actual news is comedic enough:

Okay, screw you coastal elites. I love finding a good deal at Marshall's/TJ Maxx

So a bunch of people who are known for playing pretend get busted for getting their lazy entitled couch mistakes into fancy schools? It's so much fun to see elitists get owned.

Sounds like an astounding amount of stupid money going towards getting their kids into some "elite" schools through country club sports.

Hilarious. Imagine wanting your kid at USC so much that you'll drop half a million.

I can't.

That said, and while basically the same as a bribe, wouldn't a check written to USC's endowment have done the trick? Isn't that how everyone else does it?

These William H Macy memes based on Fargo are hilarious.

 

[Mike80]

I can't.

Nobody said people who play pretend for a living are SMART

I about choked reading that one... that wins the internet

 

[DZ83CK]

I can't.

But that plan leaves out the ringleader middleman who gets $25 million, and infringes upon the dignity of school administrators like to pretend their ivory tower is purer than the rest.

As did the other dad apparently:

briefly dated a coxswain in college. she dumped me for ohio state's starting punter.

If it were our current punter, I can't see how you could compete.
