pretty much. it's straight-up illegal and a douche thing to do, because kids who've worked their asses off to get into the same school get denied not because they're not good enough, but because someone paid their way in. our system is fucked up on a lot of levels, not the least of which is guaranteeing schooling to athletes who don't get paid but are used as marketing tools to make millions of dollars.

most of the outrage is because the very people who say "if you just work hard enough you'll get in! oh you didn't get in because you weren't good enough and didn't work hard enough" are the same people who are bypassing both hard work and talent through money. it's so fucking obvious that the rich can buy their success but the rest of us just get told to work harder and pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.

da but i can't trash on the athletics thing too much because for a lot of poor kids, that's their only chance to go to a good school. they may not have the grades or the test scores that the wealthier kids do because the school they attended wasn't on par with the public schools in the more well-to-do areas, but that doesn't mean they aren't capable of learning and doing well in a better environment.
