The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.BOSTON — A former Yale women's soccer coach pleaded guilty Thursday to taking bribes and helping applicants pretend to be athletes so they could gain special admission to the Ivy League school.
Meredith — who wore a dark suit, blue shirt and dark striped tie to court — faces up to 20 years prison, three years probation, and a fine of up to $250,000. The coach first came on the FBI's radar when an executive under investigation for securities fraud told authorities that Meredith offered to designate the executive’s daughter as a recruit in exchange for cash, a law enforcement official has said.
Meredith opened the door for FBI agents by leading them to Rick Singer, the consultant at the center of the scam.
