The former Yale University women’s soccer coach whose cooperation with authorities helped blow the lid off the nationwide college admissions bribery scandal by leading the FBI to the scheme’s mastermind has been sentenced to five months in prison
College Admissions Bribery
Wolf described the victims as the members of the Yale team who were “betrayed” by being cheated out of having better teammates, as well as unknown victims — young women who might have gotten into Yale had Meredith not decided to essentially sell slots on the team. Those unknown victims may have included women from disadvantaged backgrounds, the judge said.
The judge said in court Wednesday that Meredith's cooperation was “truthful, complete and reliable," and he would have faced several years behind bars had he not cooperated. More than 50 people were ultimately convicted in the scandal, which involved bogus athletic credentials or rigged test scores to get children from wealthy families into elite U.S. universities. Among those convicted were actors Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, and Loughlin’s fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli.
Meredith's attorneys told the judge their client has been “publicly shamed and personally ashamed” and has made progress “toward re-establishing himself as a contributing member of society."
