Unsealed by the courts today, the Department of Justice indicted a dozen coaches and athletic administrators involved in a nation-wide college admissions bribery scheme. With “elite” schools and pseudo-celebrities’ names being tossed around the news reports, one of the alleged conspirators named in the indictment was Gordon “Gordie” Ernst, the head coach of Georgetown’s Men’s and Women’s Tennis teams from 2006 - 2017.
Many Georgetown alumni and sports fans are duly worried about the implications of the national admissions scandal as well as the potential for repercussions. However, many schools, such as Yale, UCLA, and Texas appear to be considering themselves potential victims of fraud and are working with authorities.
