Notes
Description
"From the former Stanford University sailing coach, the first person sentenced in the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal, the riveting true story of how he was drawn unwittingly into a web of deceit, about the sophisticated scheme designed to take advantage of college coaches and play to the endless appetite for university fundraising, and about the ways in which justice and fairness do not always intersect" --,Provided by publisher.
Description
Vandemoer ran the prestigious Stanford University sailing program for eleven years, coaching Olympians and All-Americans. Everything came crashing down when Vandemoer found FBI and IRS agents on his doorstep. He learned that a recruiter named Rick Singer had used him as a stooge in a sophisticated scheme designed to take advantage of college coaches, playing to the endless appetite for university fundraising-- and wealthy parents looking for an edge for their college-bound children. Fired, kicked out of campus housing, his children booted from campus daycare, Vandemoer was an innocent man who never received a dime-- and became the first person to be convicted in what became known as the Varsity Blues scandal. -- adapted from jacket
