The former head coach of women's soccer at Yale University admitted today (March 28, 2019) that he accepted bribes to help parents get their children into the Ivy League school, becoming the third person to plead guilty in the U.S. college admissions scandal, according to the Yahoo News website.
Rudolph "Rudy" Meredith pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston to conspiracy and wire fraud charges.
He is among 50 people charged with participating in the scheme, headed by college admissions counseling services operator Rick Singer.
Some $25 million in bribes were paid to coaches -- including Meredith -- who helped Singer's clients secure spots for their children as fake athletic prospects, prosecutors said.
