Let’s not be naïve enough to think that this has not happened in the past. Colleges and universities need to do a better job vetting these types of employees. That person associated with the college has to be that “last bastion” who says STOP – we are not interested in this way of enrolling students who don’t meet our admission standards. However, that broker is working with an employee of that college who have the ways to make it happen. The case(s) in point are those colleges and universities that have succumbed to outside brokers who have fallen into the hands of private citizens who want to get their young people into that school by offering financial “bribes.” Granted these brokers are not part of or held accountable to said college but are only in this “scheme” to make money – legally or illegally – the latter is the issue. Crime is rampant in our streets –always has been, always will be – but we, hopefully, draw the line when it happens in institutions we hold as sacred. Elected officials are being charged with crimes that we always assumed were being committed by known criminals, not those we elected to represent us. The thinking behind this article is what we are seeing daily through our media. Oh, yes, we argued about a foul or a procedure but settled it quickly. And do it quickly since we were running out of daylight! Time was of the essence as we needed to be home before dark. There were no coaches or referees or umpires to guide us. ![]() On the playground, we were the last bastion. I guess I shouldn’t say after school since what we were learning on that playground were life lessons that would serve us well. This was the lesson I learned playing on the playground after school and on weekends.
