(16,884 posts)In the case of my daughters friend, she did not know the parents had done what they did. I do not think she should pay the price of being expelled because her parents are assholes and engaged in criminal behavior to which she wasn't an accessory to the crime.
Her parents had Singer send info in to Heinel at USC claiming that she had better skills in Volleyball than she actually did. Heinel used that info to put her in a "Student Athlete Recruit" slot. She did not know this had been even sent in for her file. She never had to tryout and never showed up for it because she never applied for it. She applied with excellent grades and excellent scores that were legitimate and not "pre-arranged" or falsified. She is meanwhile a good student.
In other cases listed in the indictments - the kids knew. And worse yet, many were involved in having their test scores falsified or even someone take the test for them. That is a whole other category of wrong.
