Not charged, sentenced.  For the tl;dr crowd, five months for him, two for her is the government recommendation.  They have the old curmudgeon judge, so I suspect he'll take the reco or go even a little higher in keeping with what he's done with other $500k defendants.

Women in joint crimes with men always get less time.  
 

No one talks about it, but the biggest — by by orders of magnitude — difference in sentencing isn’t race.  It’s gender

Well she needs to be at home taking care of the daughters. They probably need help with their college coursework

What did the husband do differently to earn a 150% longer sentence?

He supposedly took a more active role in the scheme.  Most of the damning emails were between him and the fixer.

Should have sentenced her to one week with me.  I'm sure it would feel like 2 months to her.

Does the term cruel, and unusual punishment mean anything to you ?

do you think her husband gets tired of eating her ass ?

No way, I bet it tastes of syndication wealth and strawberries.

Do the brats get to remain enrolled? Law doggy doggs?

I think that's up to the institution rather than the criminal courts.  Credible reports said their enrollment status was under review.  Purportedly the younger one, who doesn't play school, would not return to USC, period.

I think they quit when the story broke

I believe this is correct.  Unclear yet whether they could return if they wanted to.  I imagine the sentencing memoranda, which would detail some of the conduct and the daughters' knowledge would impact USC's decision.

Actress Lori Loughlin reported to a federal prison in Northern California on Friday to start a two-month sentence for her role in a massive college admissions cheating scandal, according to officials at the prison and the federal prosecutor’s office.

The “Full House” star surrendered to authorities at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, about 40 miles east of San Francisco. She was early; the judge who sentenced her ordered her to report to prison on November 19.

 

It is the same federal lockup where “Desperate Housewives” actress Felicity Huffman served her 11 days last October. Huffman was in general population and had to follow all the rules, including a 5 a.m. wakeup call, a uniform of khaki pants and a brown t-shirt, and five inmate roll calls per day. Loughlin will be expected to follow the same rules as set forth by the Bureau of Prisons.

There are currently no visitors allowed at the prison because of the coronavirus pandemic. As part of new intake precautions, Loughlin will be tested for Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and placed in quarantine.

Are they allowed to sentence them to flaccid labor?

Reporting early in hopes to be out before Christmas?  If so, Judge should deny it. 

I can't imagine that they will "take" her if it's ahead of time.  And 60 days from today is going to give her an out date around new years, anyway.  You don't get "good time" if your sentence is under a year.

I'll give her good time... good long time.. at least 15 seconds.....  she's gotta be in that orange jump suit though.

Warden to Loughlin: "I believe in two things.  Discipline...and Fisting.  Here at Dublin Federal, you'll receive both."

David, I just want to get it on record that I am totally against this.  I don't think that selling admission to an obviously unqualified student is very ethical or honorable.

Right, Phil, but I'd just like to say in all fairness to Mr. Melon here, it was a really big check.

I love that scene.  The exchanges between Beatty and Dangerfield in that whole movie are so juvenile like the "Dean Martin" running gag and the "Monkey Business" joke, the writing really isn't that funny.  But watching the two of them cut up and laugh with such physicality...it's a really underrated 80's comedy.  Pos rep

Didn't this use to be in the football section? Anyway, after reading the article I don't feel bad for Center. I do believe others in the UT admin knew exactly what was going on and should be punished equally. Interesting that the government's angle was colleges were being defrauded. LOL!

“I begged the guard to place a fan at the bottom of my cell so I could get some air,” Center says. “The guard told me he didn’t want another Jeffrey Epstein. I started to cry and thought about bashing my head against the wall. Then I got COVID.”

That's uh, quite a quote there.

Yes, let’s just say Plonsky knew. Fire her ass!

So that's a really good article and quite stinging for the athletic department.

Even the story of the rich kid who got be a basketball manager is pretty fucked up even if a single dollar didn't change hands. The University is thought to be a place that helps bring equality to the state by providing opportunities to all students. It's just that some students seems to be more equal than others.

didnt a basketball coach once talk about always having a rich kid on the roster, so he could take out the team and such ?

this goes both ways. if UT and colleges in general were purely merit based on their acceptance criteria, i'd argue that a good majority of lower income and minority students would not be at UT. how many well qualified students from the more prestigious high schools did NOT get in because UT took "lesser" qualified kids in the name of equality and diversity? i understand UT is a state school and they want their student population to try to be representative the state racial population make up but this is at the expense of "better" qualified kids. and if we're being completely honest, if it were truly merit based, the vast majority of the student populations at all top colleges and universities would be asian. but most schoools have an unwritten asian quota.

i'm not upset at all if a few of rich kids used their wealth and network to skirt rules to get into better schools. they are getting fucked by the minorities but both in turn are fucking over the asians, who are not considered minorities in higher education. there are always winners and losers in this game. i'm for schools sacrificing a few better qualified kids to help bring equality and opportunity to disadvantaged kids. those better qualified kids who didn't get into UT most likely will still turn out fine regardless of where they went to school. life has a knack for keeping middle class middle class and poor poor. the UT opportunity may mean much more to the disadvantaged kids.

I think I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, but it sounds like you're cool with a rich California kid whose dad is a Silicon Valley guy getting a sweetheart deal to be the basketball manager because UT lets in disadvantaged kids too?
