It doesn't make the scheme any less slimy, it's just weird that the corrupt coach didn't have his own hand out. Am I missing something?
No mention either of whether Stanford is going to give the donations back. Sports like sailing depend on donations to buy new equipment and finance the program as they don't get allocated 100% of needed funds from the department. The coach may have been just trying to secure the financial security of the program rather than trying to enrich himself. It looks worse for Stanford that the money went to the athletic deparment rather than the coach.
