what was the scandal?

Ok. All try to explain it as best as I can.

Parents would pay for their Kids got into University under merits of Fake athletes, cheating on SATS, Doing Sats on different days etc.

I can't remember the rate right now

I thought his kids only needed their #2 pencil as acceptance into Notre Dame?

His daughters went to Notre Dame, where all they needed was their last name to gain admission. His sons both bounced all over the place trying (unsuccessfully) to play football. Not sure why they would need to use this service at all.
I am going to say this isn't true based on the tried and true process of "that's just what I choose to believe"

I don’t get how any athletics has anything to do with the scandal. Athletes get admitted all the time that have no realistic chance of getting a degree in any real field. A fake rowing scholarship seems as legit as Matt Leinhart majoring in golf instruction or whatever he got.
Wait? That's a major? Damn California is just a magical place

Honestly I didn't understand the logic of rich people paying some guy money to get their kids into said university. If they had $500,000 to pay this guy I can guarantee if they went to that School with that money they would gladly enroll the students.

I don't understand. If you are Joe Montana don't you just write a letter of recommendation for your kid saying you are there Father and sign it Joe Montana and then pretty much nothing else matters and your kid gets in anywhere without the School even bothering to see what scores they received on the entrance exams, etc??? Why the heck would he get involved in this?

Maybe his daughter tried that route by forging his signature and signed it.

Joe is probably thinking, how many rings did I need to get more respect that Mahomes kid
not really but you can spin it anyway that makes you feel good.
Truth is, most fans from Montana's era are past the autograph stage and certainly the outrageous prices

Apparently, nobody cares about you as much when you become the SECOND best QB in NFL history.
