Step 1: Create a fake soccer profile for a Yale applicant. Step 3: Acceptance letter. Step 3: Profit!

Of all the bribes allegedly paid to get students into elite universities and disclosed in sweeping charges unveiled Tuesday, none is more eye-popping than the $1.2 million that federal prosecutors say was paid by one applicant’s parents in exchange for admission to Yale University.

“[C]ould you please create a soccer profile asap for this girl who will be a midfielder and attending Yale so she has to be very good. Needs to play Academy and no high school soccer, put down you or Ali [Khosroshanin, another defendant and one-time head coach of women’s soccer at USC] as coaches for Academy FC Newport etc ... awards and honors — more info to come — need a soccer pic probably Asian girl,” prosecutors said was written in an email.

Meredith has been charged with two counts of wire fraud. The Boston Globe reported he hasn’t returned messages seeking comment.
