told The Times that prosecutors want to learn more about who at UCLA and USC knew of any recruiting schemes and are asking questions of two parents who pleaded guilty and are now cooperating.

But the spokeswoman also said that after discovering irregularities in 2017, “Georgetown immediately put former coach Gordon Ernst on leave, initiated an internal investigation, established a new policy concerning the recruitment of student-athletes, implemented audits to check whether recruited student-athletes are on team rosters and asked Mr. Ernst to resign.”
