Sorry but you haven't convinced me that there is any differences with an endowment and this except the teachers/coach's /counselors actually got the money instead of the school an again not the fault of the parents. As for jail people have done far worse and gotten nothing ,all that is accomplished by her doing 14 days is the DA can say see I did it.


Again, I guess it's me but I'm just not getting it.

The parents did do it. They were 1/2 of the criminal agreement.

It sucks that there's legal ways to bribe people (i.e. donating huge sums of money to a school and getting your kid in that way) but that doesn't change the fact lying and saying your kid is an athlete to get them in is wrong.

Both parties were wrong, the coaches for taking bribes and the parents for bribing the coaches. They should both be punished accordingly.
