I'm not trying to claim that this is a huge problem, I'm trying to make a principled argument: I don't think there is a big difference between donating to a school and bribing a coach. Both of these things are bribery.
The reason the former is considered acceptable is because the universities have spent decades making us think that this is a normal, reasonable thing. And telling us not to worry, because they would never allow themselves to be influenced by a donation when making admissions decisions. This is plainly false. University administrators are fucking hypocrites.
