U$C cuts out the middleman.
Might be paywalled.

TL;DR: U$C will happily take your giant donation and designate your kid as a walk-on whether or not they actually play the sport.

I think my favorite part of that article was the five USC administrators pleading the Fifth Amendment...

Was that in response to being asked if they worked at USC?

Of course it will soon be illegal for Stanford to cut legacy applicants a break as they clearly fail to meet our Governor's standards of having Merit, Skill and Hard Work.  Of course Athletes clearly meet those Standards.  So does a 5 star legacy applicant get dinged because he is a legacy applicant and then get admitted because he or she runs fast, jumps high and hits a golf ball a mile.  Sometimes I just do not understand peoples decision making, my own included. Clearly athletic scholarships should be banned at all California Universities, otherwise this whole thing makes no sense.
