A former water polo coach at the University of Southern California is on trial for his alleged role in the sprawling college admissions bribery scandal.
FILE - Jovan Vavic, a former University of Southern California water polo coach, arrives at federal court in Boston, March 25, 2019, to face charges in a nationwide college admissions bribery scandal. Opening arguments began, Thursday, March 10, 2022, in Boston federal court in Vavic's racketeering case, the only coach of the many implicated to take his case to trial.
But Vavic’s lawyers maintain that some $100,000 was deposited directly into a USC account to benefit the water polo teams while about $120,000 in payments for the private high school tuitions of Vavic's sons were actually scholarships awarded by Singer’s nonprofit organization for their outstanding work as student-athletes.
