Rick Singer is acknowledging his involvement as the orchestrator of the infamous “Varsity Blues” college admissions scandal … yet he’s already back to mentoring aspiring students while fulfilling his sentence.
The contentious personality, currently serving the remainder of his 3.5-year incarceration in a rehabilitation facility in California, informed ‘GMA’ that even immediately following the scandal’s exposure — when it was disclosed he facilitated affluent students to gain special admission to prestigious universities — frantic parents were still inundating him with demands to work similar magic for their offspring.
Rick expressed that upon completing his prison term, he believes he can legitimately reignite his business, assisting students with college admissions or career placements — especially considering he’s already undertaking this task at present.
Regarding the offenses he faced, Rick conceded he was entirely in the wrong. However, when questioned about the justice of securing a position on a university sports team through dubious means — while diligent students miss out — he exhibited minimal regret, dismissing it casually and stating it ultimately rests with the university’s coach.
He also emphasized that he never engaged in bribery and that such a notion didn’t even cross his mind. Instead, he referred to the monetary transactions as a “contribution” … and continues to assert that the entire scandal was a crime without victims.
