This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It is really very similar to the Varsity Blues scandal.... by Raoul

You had employees of the university in position to influence outcomes (in that case if kids get in) willing to take bribes in exchange.

Here you could have him selecting (or maintaining) ND vendors and partners based on the child's employment. There is the initial job and then promotions as the relationship builds and the profits grow. He's a smart lawyer - this is far more difficult to prove. The best you can probably do is connect the dots and say this creates a bad appearance. And he can say appearances don't matter - everyone is getting their situation (partnerships, kid's jobs) through pure merit. Some companies would not allow this. ND obviously does. Jenkins knows - he officiated her wedding.

P.S. His son-in-law, her husband, appears to have also benefited. But his appear to be more of benefiting from Jack's connections rather than leveraging specific ND vendors.
