This whole story is crazy.  How did it go on for so long with so many schools?

Because money and/or prestige in exchange for college acceptance has been going on for decades at nearly every decent college or better in the country for decades. 

The difference is that I steady of bribing the institutions, individuals started to be bribed, test cheat became organized, and one network was so widespread that it took years to follow the money. 

NOTE: I’m just glad that UT was listed as a highly selective“ university rather than simply a “selective” university like the University of San Diego.

I’m also glad that it took “6 figures” to bribe one’s way into UT.

So why not just get a slot by endowing a scholarship (legal) instead of bribing coaches (not legal)? The coaches knew it was illegal.  My real question was how the admin didn’t catch on.

I think that the administration doesn't really care too much. 

I don't think that they follow up on people who have been accepted. A famous person's kid is bringing more publicity to their school, it's not exactly something that upsets admissions admins a year or more down the road.

 Really makes me wish A&M was involved so we could see how they worded their admission standards  little a parent would have to pay to get their kid in.
