Being as busy as I am now, I don't know if I'll have the time to post this later, so I'll post it now.  I hope y'all have a safe and festive Mardi Gras weekend!  We have company holiday on Monday and Tuesday so, until Wednesday when I'll be around again, stay safe and warm!

I just can't wait to watch the fallout from it, specifically whatever sanctions the NCAA chooses to slap USC with... again.

 
(I don't watch the news) - but are they throwing the kids out of the colleges or letting them stay?

from talking to friends of mine back east it is crazy competitive to get into  schools it seems, kids with 3.7's and 1400 on SAT getting wait listed to places like UGA, UF, UT,Miami, etc. One friend of mines daughter didn't get into UGA, GT, or UF, but got a full ride offer to FSU -   I know the schools wont admit it, but I believe they only take a portion of kids from "the burbs' cause they have to take enough kids from other counties in the state- you are better off if you live in a more rural area if you want your kid to go to one of those schools.

I told my daughter to be happy she got accepted at all the places she applied, CSU, CU, and Univ of Wyoming! ;)

 
Yeah, getting into schools around here is crazy competitive.  I mean, I have a friend of mine who is scared-stiff her kid won't get into the school she wants because she didn't get into the right pre-school.  I don't understand any of this nonsense, but I do hope the kids who got in on the fraudulent actions of their parents get kicked out.

That's an interesting question.  What if you're one of the kids who genuinely didn't know they cheated their way in, like with the proctors who changed the SAT answers after it was turned in?  I think it's a no-brainer for the ones that were knowing participants, e.g. the "athletes".
