Jeffrey Bizzack was a business executive who was caught up in a scandal that resembled the 2019 college admissions fraud scandal, which stunned the country. In 2019, Bizzack pleaded guilty to paying $250,000 to get his son into the University of Southern California (USC) as a fake volleyball recruit. He was then exposed as a result of the broader investigation known as “Operation Varsity Blues.” This case poses questions about the fairness and integrity of the college admissions process as well as the extent wealthy parents would go in order to guarantee that their child goes to a very good University. Was Bizzarcck acting unlawfully? Yes, he was a snob. Was it just bribery or did it indicate more serious problems with the educational system?
