Description

Admissions for Sale: Operation Varsity Blues exposes how wealth quietly distorted one of the most trusted systems in American life. Behind polished brochures and promises of merit, a covert network allowed parents to buy influence, fabricate athletic talent, and manipulate standardized testing. Federal wiretaps, financial trails, and falsified records revealed a marketplace where admission to elite universities became a transaction. Told with a forensic, grounded tone, the story traces how trust was exploited, rules were bent, and fairness was treated as optional by those who could afford another path.
