Over forty people, including some college coaches, were indicted Tuesday for allegedly “getting students admitted to elite universities as recruited athletes, regardless of their athletic abilities, and helping potential students cheat on their college exams.”
According to Tom Winter, Pete Williams and Julia Ainsley of NBC News, Georgetown, Stanford, UCLA, the University of San Diego, USC, the University of Texas, Wake Forest and Yale are the schools alleged to be involved in the scheme.

Per Aaron Katersky and Bill Hutchinson of ABC News, 50 people have been arrested, including actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Laughlin. Those who were indicted are alleged to have paid up to $6 million in bribes to get their children admitted into colleges.
