History

[edit]

Former USC women's soccer coaches Ali Khosroshahin and Laura Janke were indicted as part of the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal, for allegedly accepting bribes totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to facilitate the admission of students to USC as soccer players recruited to the USC women's soccer team, despite their never having played soccer, and pled guilty.[2]
