Yeah, it's different, but it's not that different. In both cases you're essentially selling a spot to a kid who couldn't get it on his own merits. That one of them may have been closer to deserving it than the other doesn't change that fact.

“Patrick” is Patrick Hannity, son of Sean Hannity, the Fox News host. He is a redshirt freshman who previously starred at Cold Spring Harbor High School on Long Island, where he was a New York state finalist in doubles. He played only in the fall this season, compiling records of 3-4 this season in singles and 3-4 in doubles, but was invaluable when it came to getting his team into the Oval Office.
How do you know that the #157 ranked American tennis player would not have been welcomed as a preferred walk-on if there was no rich parent?* You are asserting this as an established fact. Admittedly I don't know much about collegiate tennis, but it does not seem far fetched to me that such an athlete could find a practice squad place on the team. I'd like to see some objective evidence, other than just your insistence, that it is absurd for such an athlete to have a walk on spot. The starters need quality players to practice against.
Assume, for a moment, that it is not absurd for the #157 ranked American tennis player to be a walk-on at Wake. Now assume for a moment that the tennis coach is choosing between #125, whose parents have no money*, and #157, whose dad is filthy rich and has a jet. Neither one is going to start, both can probably give the starters a workout. Why should Wake not admit #157 and reap the financial benefits?
*Tennis is a classic country club sport that, at least in America, usually requires wealth to reach excellence. I am betting that a very large percentage of the top American players have wealthy parents. These sports (tennis, golf, crew, LAX, field hockey, even soccer to some extent) are basically a form of affirmative action for the wealthy which gives their offspring yet one more advantage in getting into the college of their choice. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2018/10/college-sports-benefits-white-students/573688/
Wonder what Hannity thinks about all of the foreign nationals on the team?
I suppose that would depend on whether they were all here legally or not?
Doubt it. GOP is trying to end/make legal immigration more difficult.
Things about the college admissions bribery. Half the money went to Huffman's volleyball camp. In many cases, the coach who runs these camps gets to keep the profits as a sort of salary supplement. Thus $50k went pretty much into Huffman's pocket. It seems there was no real interest in the student being part of the volleyball team until the failure of regular admissions. Then Huffman used one of his chips for getting a marginal student admitted ad a "recruited athlete." It does not appear that there was any recruitment prior to the bribe.
Maybe that's how its done in southern California. The last seat on the bench of minor sports is up for sale.
It's a fair point though that we do take some scrubs as walk-ons, so he may not be much worse than any of them. But I think it was pretty clear from Day 1 that he had no chance of ever playing a serious competitive match for Wake, so the fact that his dad is offering up his private jet raises at least serious questions about why he's on the team
