I understand why it is unethical, but what law did they break? The coach is not a government employee, so aren't you legally permitted to bribe them?

  They commited textbook fraud. You can take a look at the charges for yourself. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/investigations-college-admissions-and-testing-bribery-scheme https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/investigations-college-admis...

    Exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Weird that they have so many of them on "mail fraud." That part confuses me more than it enlightens me.

      "mail fraud" is a catch-all charge that most fraud cases fall under. Think of it like a fraud * wildcard

      I think it's because mail used to be the predominate means of interstate commerce so most federal fraud charges would focus on mail naturally due to volume.
