Sure. Check's in the mail. Congratulations. You're now a cheater.
I'm damn sure not a victim

You're correct. And why? Because I didn't defraud you. See the difference?
The donation and the fraud are two separate acts. Wake Forest was victimized by the fraud despite the donation.
It wouldn’t totally shock me if donations of that amount from parents of walkons or regular legit players are pretty common in the Olympic sports.
Talking about the same thing we're all talking about. What's the problem?
sure, there are donations
but $40,000 to the program and $50,000 to the camp, along with $10,000 to the Deacon Club?
those come in all the time?
How many Moricle Society members are there - because that only costs $60,000, and I'm pretty sure Wellman and Hatch know every member of that group by name
He played at James Madison initially, who is decidedly not D2
LOL. Imagine finding out that you parents paid a million dollars and had your ACT doctored to get you into a decent school.
Especially when undergrad doesn't even mean that much!
Exactly. How many $40k+ donations has the volleyball program ever gotten? It should have raised eyebrows.
And how is that cheating? The school and athletic department gets donations everyday. Usually cheating (especially in athletics) involves the school or its boosters paying the recruits or their family. Not the other way around.
Classic. Yeah I�m sure Stanford grads don�t have any advantages over the general population.
I don’t think you understand what’s going on here. The Deacon Club certainly knew exactly where that money was coming from, and that it was because of a specific student. As mentioned earlier, donations to booster clubs, because of specific student athletes, happen all the time. Sometimes into the hundreds of thousands of dollar range, again just because of specific student athletes. And the booster club understands that explicitly. What the Deacon Club and school didn’t know, was that the coach was accepting money to designate applicants as recruited athletes, to get them accepted.
As many parents know, when you sign your child up for a sports camp under some college coaches, the check is written directly to the coach.
