Unfortunately for Hinch, the formula for most embarrassing alum is: [seriousness of actions] * [how much publicity the actions are getting]. Organized sign stealing is not the worst thing a Stanford alum as done (Elizabeth Holmes committed worse crimes every day before breakfast). But Hinch is going to be off the charts on the second component this year.
Elizabeth stands a good chance of retaking the title as soon as her trial starts.
Whether Holmes is an alumna or not depends upon the never ending debate as to whether one must graduate from an institution to have alumn(a/us/i/ae) status.
Generally I'd put Ted Streleski at the top of that list ... but of course memories are short.
Though I'm not sure if he qualifies for the got-a-degree version, he clearly attended for plenty long enough.
