ANOTHER COLLEGE SCANDAL PLAYER GOES AWAY

by Bob Walsh

Toby MacFarlane, 56, was a real estate and title insurance guy from California. He just got six months in the slammer for his part in the admissions cheating scandal, the longest sentence handed out yet by a large margin.

MacFarlane made a total payout of $400,000 to a fake non-profit operated by Rick Singer to get his two rugrats into his old school, USC. He also paid out $50,000 to USC athletics generically. He got his daughter in as a fake soccer player and his son as a basketball recruit. The judge hammered him harder because he played the game not once but twice, not unlike Lori Laughlin.

Now a total of 29 defendants, including 19 parents, have either pleaded guilty or agreed to plead guilty in the scheme.

Ivan Dvorsiky, formerly an administrator for both the ACT and SAT, copped out Wednesday last week to racketeering charges for accepting $200,000 in bribes for instances involving a total of 20 students.
