[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Because at any decent school the ultimate authority to admit comes from the admissions office, not the coaches. So the admissions office was either complicit, willfully blind or just negligent.[/quote]

[b]The admissions offices are staffed by a combination of young admin types who are just chasing all the paperwork and process and older admin types that just follow the process. The Dean and associate dean spend their time trying to recruit and worrying about the yield numbers. Its not a high powered operation and I can't imagine anyone other than a Dean questioning someone from the athletics department. [/b][/quote]

I just can't believe the audacity of this whole scheme.  How could they feel so confident that the admissions office wouldn't double check the applicant's record.  I can see how they assumed that the admissions office would just go by the coach's word, but there's no way anyone can know for sure.  I just can't believe the level of risk that Singer, the coaches and parents were taking.  [/quote]
