I don't at all hate this response from Olivia Jade: www.instyle.com/celebrity/olivia-jade-giannulli-red-table-talk?utm_campaign=instyle_instyle&utm_content=manual&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=5fcfb3309e34670001d91689“No matter what the situation is, you don’t want to see your parents go to prison,” she told the hosts, “ but also I think it’s necessary for us to move on and move forward.”“What hasn’t been super public is that there is no justifying or excusing what happened, because what happened was wrong,” she said off the bat. “I think every single person in my family can say ‘that was messed up, that was a big mistake.’”“What’s so important to me is to now learn from the mistake, not to now be shamed, and punished, and never given a second chance. I’m 21 — I feel like I deserve a second chance, to redeem myself, to show I’ve grown.”“I’m not trying to victimize myself,” she clarified. “I don’t want pity. I don’t deserve pity. We messed up. I just want a second chance to be like ‘I recognize I messed up.’“When all this first happened and it became public, I remember thinking ‘how are people mad about this?’ In the bubble I grew up in, I didn’t know so much outside of it. And a lot of kids in that bubble, their parents were donating to schools and doing stuff … So many advantages.” “A huge part of having privilege is not knowing you have privilege,” Giannulli admitted. “So when it was happening, it didn’t feel wrong.”“I understand why people are angry and I understand why people say hurtful things,” she said. “I would too if I wasn’t in my boat. I think I had to go through the backlash, because when you read it you realize that there’s some truth to it.”“I didn’t come on here to try and win people over,” she said. “I just want to apologize for contributing to these social inequalities, even though I didn’t realize it at the time, being able to come here and recognize that I am aware.”She's right. She is young and she does deserve a second chance for the public to recognize her growth and see where she takes herself next. We'll see what kind of lifepath she decides to take for herself next. Not that this take is wrong, but I bet there are a whole lot of people who are *still* in prison 25-30 years later for drug offenses they committed when they were about her age in the 1990s. It's a lot easier for a rich white girl to ask for a second chance than a poor black boy. Very true, which is what makes this response to her so fantastic:

“I understand why people are angry and I understand why people say hurtful things,” she said. “I would too if I wasn’t in my boat. LOL, it occurs to me that if she had actually been "in her boat", this whole thing wouldn't have been an issue....

Olivia Jade will be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. I f*cking hate this country. Isn't this more like "Dancing With The Meteors"? A very small "star" who will probably flame out and possibly explode.

This whole thing is just like a microcosm of what is wrong with America, socially. People paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to get their children of privilege into these elite schools.
1) They HAVE hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on this. There are people in this country who work multiple full-time jobs who will never have that much money for food or shelter, but these people can afford to spend it to buy their kids into college.
2) It shows how the elite colleges are still bastions of privilege.
3) It shows how important it can be to a kid to get into such colleges -- which in turn shows how penalizing it can be for kids who are not born into this kind of privilege to not get into them. This is what generational systematic bias looks like. The rich can buy their way into the elite schools that will help their kids to become the rich of the next generation. Meanwhile, if you aren't on that escalator right from the ground floor, it's almost impossible to get on later.

Are any of the universities getting penalized or punished as well?

Are any of the universities getting penalized or punished as well? I think USC might be because they caught the associate AD. Don't believe for a moment that these outlaw coaches created these financial empires without at least the tacit consent of the universities.

Although the ESPN article you posted makes me think not all the coaches accused were outlaws.
