Subject: RE: BS: Thoughts on US college entrance scandal?
Hi, Mrr - don't know yet what my niece thinks. We haven't heard from that part of the family. That part of family always lived a rather wealthy lifestyle, and we felt a bit out of place - although they were nice to us. Back in about 1990, my son really wanted to play basketball, and Rick took us to basketball games and showed us the life of NCAA basketball. I felt more than a little overwhelmed. At the time, Rick was placing mostly low-income kids into basketball scholarships, but he spent a lot of time hobnobbing with wealthy donors - and he had a fancy car and drove it faster than I would dare.
