I hope they go after the parents, but how much do you want to guess none of them see jail time.
Why should they. Jail should be for people who commit violence. Jails should be there to protect us from the rest of them. I can despise Felicity Huffman, but I don't need to be protected from her with armed guards at $90,000 a year.
I should also note that Felicity Huffman and Lori Laughlin are getting ALL the attention because they are C-List actors... but the really rich people who did far worse are not having their names dragged through the mud.
There’s no shortage of places to buy a diploma these days...I agree with you. Close every university involved. Make everyone suffer. I don't give a fuck. The integrity of academia is completely gone.So they are going to go after the parents trying to help their kids instead of the corrupt universities? That's messed up.

I would disagree, I think jail is for people who commit crimes...period. I am fine with Madoff being in jail till the day he dies. If people do not go to jail, there is less incentive for someone else not to do what they did.

Madoff's crimes hurt real people, who lost their money.
Not seeing how "Aunt Becky" really hurt anyone. "Boo Hoo, my kid had to go to state college because of a bribe!"
A few post ago you said jail should only be for those that commit violent crime. Now you have changed your tune.
Parents trying to give their kids a leg up. I got no problem with it.
I probably could have played JC ball for Salt Lake Community College but uncle Sam had this thing called Vietnam gong on.I agree with you. Close every university involved. Make everyone suffer. I don't give a fuck. The integrity of academia is completely gone.So they are going to go after the parents trying to help their kids instead of the corrupt universities? That's messed up.

That is just stupid. In most of the universities involved it was just one or two people that were implicated, most of them were coaches that abused their positions and gamed the system.
Well, here are my thoughts:
Jail time is inappropriate for Ms. Huffman. Having someone take an SAT so your kid can get into college is wrong and shameful but I really doubt that the Huffman child’s being there caused another kid to be turned away at these large universities. Now, if the SAT score afforded the Huffman child a scholarship that the other kid may have not been able to get because it had been awarded previously or had been awarded on a competitive basis, that is a different kettle of fish all together.
As for the athletic scholarship students, this is pretty serious. The NCAA has some limits on how many students can get scholarships and compete.
Getting admitted to USC doesn’t mean someone else was denied a spot. Getting put on the USC Gymnastics team as a scholarship athlete may mean that another gymnast was denied a spot on the team.
obama's records are sealed. care to comment why?They should. If other parents see them spending months in jail and fined 10 times the bribe, others just may tell their kids, if you want to get into a good school, STUDY!!
As for their parents, court ordered counseling to examine their parenting styles and their own "boasting rights vs. integrity."
Okay, but here's the thing... what about the parents who are affluent enough to do "legal" things to get their kid an edge? Study coaches, private prep schools, and so on. It seems that you are just fine with a system that favors the rich, until it crosses a certain line.
George W. Bush went to Yale and Harvard, but no one really thinks he is smart. How did this happen?

Um, no, I don't think the courts can cure being an insufferable narcissist. Just ask Trump.

Same reason everyone else's is. They're confidential.
Given he came from a pretty middle class backgournd, it's unlikely he did the stuff these folks did.
