They deserved more jail time.

One day plus $7500 / $1000 to someone who can afford to pay 600k to get their kids into college is nothing. What a joke.

It never ceases to amaze me that USC is considered "bribe-worthy" by some people.

Unfortunately, I expected this light sentence, but am disappointed. People like Davina and Bruce life in a different world from the rest of society. The irony of bribing for college and skating thru this court debacle! I hope they are truly remorseful for the right reasons

What?! ONE DAY?! They faked that their two daughters were athletic recruits plus cheated on the SATs. Who did they pay off?
The laws need to be changed to hit these wealthy people in the pockets more. $5 million fine perhaps?
Felicity Huffman (actress) served 10 days in prison (sentenced to 14) for paying $15,000 to have a proctor correct SAT questions answered incorrectly by her daughter and a $30,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and one year supervised release. Of course, it was the low-key "prison" in Dublin, where it's like being at camp with activities and sunbathing, but she didn't fake that her daughter was an athletic recruit, yet her punishment was much more than the Isacksons'.

One day? Did they give someone else $600k?

I’m guessing they had better lawyers than the other defendants.
