Longtime UCLA men's soccer coach Jorge Salcedo has resigned, an athletic department official reportedly confirmed to the L.A. Times.
Salcedo, 46, was implicated in the nationwide college admissions, cheating and recruitment bribery scheme in which 50 people were charged, including two SAT/ACT exam administrators, one exam proctor, nine collegiate coaches, one college athletics administrator and 33 parents. Salcedo was charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering and placed on leave by the university following his indictment.
The scheme, orchestrated by William "Rick" Singer, worked to help potential students cheat on college entrance exams or pose as recruited athletes regardless or athletic ability to get admitted to high-profile universities through bribery, using a fake charity to launder the money.
