HE REPORTED IT TO THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR IN OCTOBER. THE DIRECTOR TOLD HIM IT WAS HANDLED. HE FOUND THE PARENT'S NAME ON A DONOR PLAQUE SIX MONTHS LATER.

On October 12, 2017, a water polo coach received an email from a parent offering a $200,000 donation in exchange for false recruitment support for her daughter, who had never played the sport. After reporting the solicitation to the Athletic Director, the situation went unaddressed until the coach contacted the FBI months later.
