John Vandemoer, former sailing coach at Stanford, arrived at the federal courthouse in Boston for sentencing on Wednesday.
When you have sports and large amounts of money involved then there will always be corruption and scandals, to much money to be made. Athletes, clubs, collages, brands, sponsors etc
Slap on the wrist for the elite
This was a very minor crime...why doesn't the media ask why politicians (both D's and R's) are allowed to break the law...
Rotten system doesn't allow education for poor, that is 70 per cent of Americans.
How is what he did different from big donors with names on campus buildings for kid’s acceptance, for instance!
This wasn’t one mistake. It was a scam and conspiracy.
The justice system is a complete farce
What a joke!
Judges can accept excuses for spur of the moment mistakes but ones running many years?
And the longest. How long did he run that scam?

Lay down with dogs....
Ensnared? So passive. Takes away all his agency.
Did you enjoy sailing?
Bought Off University 'Sailing' Coach? That explains all those terrible sailboat, rowboat and inner-tube collisions last summer. God help us when news breaks about corrupt Professors selling those expensive Basket-weaving PhD's -- it'll be utter chaos at the flea-markets.🍸
Only because they got caught
I hope he thinks long and hard about what he’s done during his ONE DAY SENTENCE IN JAIL.
Hindsight vs Common Sense, Honesty, & Integrity; More Specifically, He's '$orry' He Got Caught!
Man -- tough job, teaching sailing at Stanford No wonder black people have to live in $2,000/m efficiency apartments.
Geez...you think!? Dumbasss
Kim Foxx must be the prosecutor
He won't face prison. Saved you a click.
He did not take any money, he gave it to the school and the 2 kids did not go to Stanford, that helped with the leniency.
He accepted 700k and only spends one night in jail and has to pay back 10k of it? Hmm doesn’t seem commensurate to the crime
John has the skills to sail away.
