Do you think that the celebrities involved in the college scandal deserve to go to jail? Why or why not?

Yes. If I did this, there would be no question of my incarceration, it would be guaranteed.
Because these celebrities have the money to flush down the toilet like this, they should get away with it?

NO - If they go to jail it will open a can of worms, that means the person in charge of the college will also go to jail, the people that accepted the bribes will go to jail. If they do go to jail, they will start with all colleges that have kick backs to basketball players, football players will be in serious trouble

The domino effect @nedkelly

Regarding monetary gifts to colleges, coaches, etc, to influence their accepting your kid, absolutely not. Why, that would make it illegal for corps and wealthy people to give money to congresspersons to buy their votes.
Nobody realises the al Capone of the situation..
Pay money into a fake charity.
Claim tax on said ‘charitable donations’..

This is pretty big when it comes to federal tax
I was just reading an article about aunt Becky.. she refused the plea deal thinking she had enough privilege to dodge a cell.. most the others have already plead out

If jail is a common sentence for this type of crime then, yes..
But i don't think they should be punished any more or less severely because of their public or financial status.

Yes. They committed fraud and a host of other crimes. They kept deserving students out of those programs.
Peaches · F
Yes, because a regular person would.

@Peaches A regular person could not afford these massive bribes

@nedkelly You're right about that, 😏 but I don't think it should be ignored. There are people that have worked their asses off to be there on their own self worth, NOT "mommy and daddy's" dollars.👎🏼🤑😐️
They deserve to be reprimanded.
Anyway good question.

Yes. Not just celebrities, but everyone who was involved should be held accountable.
