Prosecutors have charged dozens of wealthy parents, coaches and administrators in a massive college admissions scam. Actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are among the parents charged. USA Today education reporter Chris Quintana joined CBSN to break down the allegations and their consequences.
Aw, I feel bad for the reporter, he's so nervous!
If Bill Hader can rise to greatness with crippling anxiety, I bet this guy can too :)
He needs to breath..
Sounds like he's walking up stairs while talking, I wasn't watching the video and had to look at him to see he wasn't.
I noticed that too, I wish him the best.
I know right!! OM gosh
Lol at Universities running kids into financial insolvency calling themselves victims.
😂😂😂😂
And churning out communist, leftist, angry snow flakes.
Right? And People call ME evil....
its the largest scam of all time
To Chris Quintana: You did great!! The more you do this kind of interview, the easier it will become! Promise!! =D Great job!
It was lameO
nervous voice on chris from the start, but got more relaxed, but he’ll for sure get past it. really good reporter!
You gotta be "pretty stupid" to have to pay money to pretend your child is "really smart". LMAO!!😄😂
T don’t tell me these kids had no idea, they all have to take these tests...did they miss that concept somehow???
You might put one foot on the door, but doesn't mean your grades are guarantee, you need to work hard and compete with those who are really real smart and study hard.
SMH.....these companies are doing the SAME THING...IN THE HIRING PROCESS
These are facts! Overlooking real talent to look out for a friend/family member/friend's kid 🤦🏿
@1113 Cntrl No, that's not what affirmative action is. Affirmative Action was made to counteract bribing and racism. It works. The parents that are bribing these schools are rich whites who coddle their dumb children.
Honestly this seemed like a thing people knew about but never tried to confront kinda like the Hollywood/entertainment news that’s been brought out in recent years
They'll just pay to get off. Mind you, a mom used her family's address to make sure her kids went to a better school and they locked her up and took her kids. That's justice for you 🙄
Coach Trini There is suppose to be school choice now because of standardized tests. So why is this still happening?
You know what's funny none of these rich people will never see jail or prison time cause of good lawyers and money ironic am I right ?
Federal charges are tough to beat. The conviction rate is >90%. There are no plea deals because the DoJ has an unlimited budget. Even the Singer dude who ran the scams and pled guilty, cooperating with the FBI will go to prison. These people who have been charged with felonies will likely serve time. Not a lot of time, but they will go to prison.
Singer said he's been doing this for 20 yrs. I wonder how far back they will go and what happens to all the kids that benefitted from it?
Chris was very cool. Keep it up man!
what about George W. Bush? how on earth he got into Yale and Harvard?
We always knew that Jeb was the smarter brother
@@cartt10 he would've been a better president, than trump
Not sure it would be as big a "news" deal if Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman weren't involved.
What a total disgrace . Lock everyone up . So tired of “ pay to play “ politics , jobs , business , lobbyists, and now the educational system . That will look good on the resume . Stanford class of 2019 on a bribery scholarship “ Varsity Crew team however not proficient with an oar “ coach was also bribed . Parents are rich . References upon request via FBI
Varsity blues will soon change to prison blues which I hear are very fashionable this time of year
Wonder how much it cost to get George W into Yale ?
So I was rejected from NYU recently, I hope this was not why and it was my bad grades and... SAT.
This happens in all third world countries and in many Asian countries.
Dude is super nervous
@@alanchung6843 I don't understand why put yourself that much for this kind of job that makes you nervous.
@@Katsura_ja_nai_Zura_da So you get over it.
"These people are perfectly qualified to go to these schools." Why do they need affirmative action then?
Huh?
@@terencesmith3853 If someone is qualified to go to a school why wouldn't they get in solely based off their merits. And don't tell me schools are racist trying to keep minorities out. Thats ridiculous, the physics department at my school was opening every door to have black physics students and their just weren't hardly any applying.
Get it, Chris!!! Nice find. Keep up the great work.
Storming a teacup and the hypocrisy here is sickening. The rich have always done this in every single country in the world and they will continue to do so even if it's wrong because they will tell you the rules don't apply to them
One of the most important parts of the Declaration of Independence is its preamble, and, more specifically, certain phrases contained within the preamble. Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness is unarguably of the most famous lines in American history. Jefferson states that everybody is entitled to the pursuit of happiness. It's important to note that the colonists took care in not just saying that every American has the right to happiness, but more specifically the pursuit of it. To Jefferson, this meant that when our government is doing its job right, we as a people are and should be able to find our own happiness in life. It's up to us to chase after whatever we desire and make it a reality and the only thing holding us back from pursuing happiness is us. Paying to have your test scores boosted, lying about playing a sport you don't play, paying a FAKE non-profit to channel the funds to the person you're paying off for favors......where do you see "donation" in any of these? Take that one kid and turn it into thousands of kids who may never go to college and obtain the education they need. Their studying didn't matter. Their diligence didn't matter. Their parents guiding them and motivating them to prepare while their friends are out partying didn't matter. None of it mattered. It's terrible, criminally terrible. Nothing will change until you get mad. kzhead.info/sun/gLaug5ecr32BbI0/bejne.html
Why does this guy sound so nervous when he talks?...he comes off so sus..lol
This feeds into what AOC has been saying about the top 1%.
Was Boston uni. involved?
What? No James Van Der Beek?
It's good to know that we live in a "metricocracy."
Meritocracy
Why is this a surprise to everyone? This is the real world. Cmon now.
Only words I heard in this entire segment “don’t deserve to be in”.....I wonder what other connection I can drawl from those words...
Why don't they post everyone not choose & pick?
his nervousness is distracting 🙄
Gonna be a full house at the womens corrections facility these broads go to.
😂😂😂😂
Alright man, we know about the 2 actresses, what about the other people involved. There are some other highly recognized parents who are rich and involved in this scandal.
Mr Singer really said he did this for 800 parents?
Who are the other wealthy accused?
I saw the documentary one of em was the head of Hot Pockets!
Ha ha ha ha ua ha BUSTED.. THIS BEEN GOING THIS IS NOTHING NEW. The reporter paid his way also you hear the nervousness in his voice lol
chris is extremely nervous
this is nothing new in the early 90s i was not accepted into a college in florida because of my grades but once i told them i would not need financial aid and i would be paying cash in full all of a sudden i was gladly accepted ?
Are you telling us your are really, really dumb, and had someone else write this comment for you?
90's vs 2019 college way different
@@sheffrudytke1086 obviously not
@@mario9133 no im saying cash talks always has always will .
I@@daddyhermanson9737 I know daddy. I was just teasing you.
It's in the books, probation and fines, with a little community service. White collar crimes really do pay off.
Money changes everything
Jared Kushner? What about all the Kennedys? And Chelsea Clinton? And Malia Obama?
What's new?
Those schools will definately have less applicants=less$ from application fees..
edith gold *definitely
The only deals these criminals should get is who gets a window seat on the prison bus .
Even donating money for a building for favorable treatment is completely wrong. He talks about it like it’s no big deal. It’s bribery and illegal! If you offer to buy a politician a vacation home in exchange for considering something they’re lobbying for, that’s bribery.
Stanford and Yale I get... But USC? If you paid millions to get your kid into a college, why would you ever choose USC?
Varsity Blues, makes me think of movie from 90s
And I am the one who has to visit the Psychiatrist Office once a month, and take my pill.

This is the tip of the ice berg. The FBI ought to investigate how Saudi and Chinese students get into top American universities.

The repporter is dealing with a lot of stress 😂😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️
And whi is his voice shaking?
Dang this dude is nervous.....hard to listen to
hey CBS and whomever- check into Penn State on this stuff too. JUST SAYING>>>>>>>
Varsity Blues case is NOW MOOT! With colleges switching to on-line classes, both rich & poor are now in the same BOAT(or canoe)! Who loses out now? Answer- EVERYONE. Of course all those parents that paid fortunes to get their kids in those prestigious colleges, would now have wasted that money anyway, if they were not caught up in that case! So what was the whole point of it!
That is the nature of capitalism- all institutions are tools of the owner class. The "criminal" charges whatever they may be have zero chance of convincing any jury when people buy into the values of greeed and worship the wealthy (i.e. wealthy Clintons, Kennedys, Trumps, Prince William).
It’s clear that none of these parents cared about giving their kids an education. All they wanted was to buy a brand to stamp on their children’s resume. Bragging rights, too.
SHAME.
Hey MCFLY!!!!!! I thought i told you not to report here!!
Millions of dollars to get kids into college. Why? They have enough money to give each of their children several university degrees. They should transfer that money to those of us who, hardworking and smart, didn't have the money to attend even an ordinary university or college.
Can Chris please be a regular anchor. He is such a mood.
What I want to know is, is college really worth all that money?
That’s why these uni don’t accept smart student. They get free money.
Dude on the right needs to chill out on the coffee or cocaine or whatever it is that's causing him to bounce his leg maniacally.

( 3 ) In America their are 2 groups of people who do NOT pay taxes. Who are these people, and how do they get away with NOT paying taxes ?? Please leave comments below, and I will return in 24 hours to give the correct answers. Have fun everyone
Pay money for them to pick you to pay them more money. 😂😳America

The golden globe that felicity Hoffman got should be taken away from her as the prize stands also for morality and substance of ethics
Nice haircut mr. Quantanamo....
They didn't arrest Barry sotereo or Lizzie Warren though
Affirmative Action is the issue 😂
Orange jump suits or will it be special circumstance hmmmm. BET ME
U already have the advantage!!!! u have the money to pay for your kids education and u spend ridiculous amounts MORE to cheat your way in... I hope they make them pay in the way of funding college tuition for kids who really earned the right to attend those schools but Cldnt afford it... which made some kids not even try to get in, taking spots sayin your kid is a “recruit” and they don’t even play the sport???? WTF
Education reporter? He's a bit too late isn't he? Jesus we're f****d!
The people that disliked this video was their parents 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If students with learning disabilities are getting into Harvard, what does that say about Harvard? Just sayin’. My son has a disability and because of this, he surely isn’t going to qualify. Such fraud hurts these people even more.
Are we surprised that the main deviant is a super intelligent nominal Jew?
This guest can't talk clear. My ears hurt
I used to tell my daughter, "Pay attention in school so you can go to a good college." Now, I tell her, "Pay attention in school so I won't have to bribe a college."
This guy is sooooo FREAKING NERVOUS. HE IS A TRAIN WRECK.
Chris is cute. 😉
dung of the devil
This isn't justification for affirmative action. There are poor whites/Asians/Arabs who suffer just as much from this stuff as blacks/Hispanics/Native Americans but don't get the benefits of affirmative action. A better solution is to give the benefits of affirmative action to low income families, regardless of race
Neither the parents nor the students were too bright, LMAOOOOOOOOO Stop trying to cover by saying that they are capable!! 1 million dollars????????????????????????
Meh
That’s has been going on for years...🤔🤔
Chris stoping being so dramatic
.
that dude chris was shaking in his loafers
Can I punish Lori?
Liberals doing what liberals do.
Nervous much?
Where's Trump on this!
This is exactly how Donald Trump got into college...explains alot
Asand dy- sounds very stupid. Not all wealthy people bribe to get in. Unfortunately the President is smart enough to be accepted in an ivy league school. Even how smart a person are, if you cannot afford the tuition fees, you are out of luck. And I don't see you being any of these qualifies.
MAGA = My Accomplices Get Arrested...👮🚓😂
If Chris Quintana wants a job on tv he needs to not look like he is scared to death to be on tv. He seems nervous and is fidgeting the whole time. It is hard to watch and listen to.
I and many other clearly understood what he was saying. At least hes trying to improve.
