More problems for U.S.C. and U.C.L.A. in the college admissions scandal

Mr. Singer pleaded guilty to racketeering and other charges.

The cooperation agreement means that Ms. Isackson will share what she knows about the roles that U.C.L.A. officials have. and U.S.C. played in the system and, if their cases go to court, could testify against them. It also puts pressure on other parents accused in the recruitment process; If Ms. Isackson testifies that she believes her actions were bad, it will be harder for others to say that they just thought of making innocent donations.

One of the unusual aspects of the Isacksons case is that, according to the indictment documents, their eldest daughter, Lauren, was admitted to U.C.L.A. as a football rookie although he is not a high-level player, he was required to participate in the team as a student-athlete for one year. She is on the 2017 list as a midfielder. Most of the students involved in the case were not part of the teams for which they had been recruited.

According to the prosecutor, after Lauren Isackson's provisional admission to U.C.L.A., Singer reportedly paid $ 100,000 to a sports marketing company controlled by Jorge Salcedo, a former men's football coach at U.C.L.A. The government accused Salcedo of conspiracy to commit racketeering and pleaded not guilty.

Davina Isackson could tell us if the coaches of the women's football team were also involved. Amanda Cromwell, Women's Head Coach at U.C.L.A. since 2013, did not respond to messages.
