This morning, news broke that several NCAA coaches and numerous parents were charged in the nation’s largest-ever college admissions bribery case prosecuted by the Justice Department.
Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman (of Desperate Housewives fame) and Lori Loughlin (Full House) are among the list, both were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. Several other parents were also implicated in the scheme, many that have backgrounds in law, business, or the entertainment industry.
The scheme went so far as to create fake athletic profiles for the students, and designate them as high-level athletes in sports they had never played. After gaining entrance to the schools, the “athletes” either faked injuries or quit the sport, according to the FBI.
SportsTalk Mississippi gave their take on what has become yet another weird NCAA cheating scandal.
