Yale rescinds admission of student linked to college admissions scandal involving soccer coach
Authorities say, former Yale women's soccer coach Rudy Meredith received a $400,000 payment for designating a non-athlete as a recruit. By Des Bieler Des Bieler Sports reporter covering national topics, including fantasy football, as well as supporting coverage of D.C.-area teams Email Bio Follow March 26 at 12:17 AM Yale confirmed Monday that it rescinded the admission of a student linked to the college admissions cheating and bribery scandal.
The FBI also said it “surreptitiously recorded” Meredith in April 2018 demanding a $450,000 bribe and accepting partial payments from a parent in exchange for designating another student as a soccer recruit. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that authorities were tipped off to Singer’s scheme by a financial executive who was seeking leniency in an unrelated securities-fraud case and who claimed that he had been approached by Meredith for a bribe.
On Sunday, Conroy told Yale’s student newspaper, the Daily News, that the school has hired outside counsel to help with an internal review, but he said Yale does not believe that any other students were involved apart from the one whose admission was rescinded and another who was denied admission. An attorney for former USC water polo coach Jovan Vavic, who also pleaded not guilty Monday, said his client “is not only a highly decorated water polo coach, having won 14 national championships, but a great family man of renowned integrity.” The attorney added, “He is innocent of these charges and will prove so in court.”
