Saw the Yale girl's soccer coach that took a $400,000 bribe and a Stanford crew coach. Any track coaches going down? Saw something about a fake pole vaulter, but didn't get the connection to a team. Anyone got info?
Also, Rojo you ever get approached for a bribe at Cornell?
Not clear to me that any coaches were involved. Looks at first glance like there were people at the USC athletic directors office involved in that part of the scheme:
A wealthy media exec from La Jolla, Calif., falsely claimed her teenage son was a top athlete to get him into USC — and even submitted doctored photos to make him look like a champ, investigators said.
Elisabeth Meyer Kimmel, 54, allegedly claimed son Thomas was an “elite high-school pole vaulter.”
In the doctored image seen here, Thomas’ face was digitally pasted on that of a vaulter clearing a bar at 14 feet.
However, Kimmel’s son never actually participated in track and field during his time at a private La Jolla prep school, probers said.
The son’s application to USC falsely claimed he was a three-year varsity letterman in track and was “one of the top pole vaulters in the state of California.”
Meanwhile, the family’s charitable foundation made a $50,000 payment to the USC Women’s Athletics Board, records show.
That's not as bad as the guy in Del Mar who had his 5'5" son listed as a walk-on basketball prospect for USC.

There were a number of coaches directly involved.
