But just like her older sister at Georgetown, she never actually joins the USC team after enrolling.

No one notices, and in the fall of 2013, Singer repeats the trick with another client.
voice-verified
And around the same time, he expands further into USC athletics through Jovan Vavik, the university's water polo coach.
voice-verified
And he continues to work with Gordon Ernst at Georgetown, placing multiple students into the university as fabricated tennis recruits.
voice-verified
Away from USC and Georgetown, Singer uses the same approach to arrange admission for a student to UCLA and another to the University of Texas at Austin.
voice-verified
Each time Singer presents the side door to parents in the same way, as a virtual guarantee of admission, something even major donations can't promise.
voice-verified
But the scheme still has a vulnerability.
voice-verified
It depends entirely on coaches acting as his accomplices, and Singer knows from his own experience that coaching jobs are notoriously unstable.
voice-verified
That proves true again in late 2013, when USC fires coach Hosra Shaheen after a run of poor results for the women's soccer program.
voice-verified
Almost overnight, one of Singer's most productive side doors slams shut, and with it comes a realization.
voice-verified
If Singer wants to protect his operation in the long term, he needs a more permanent foothold inside USC, someone higher up who isn't subject to the fluctuating fortunes of individual teams.
voice-verified
So in 2015, Singer snags a meeting with USC athletic director Pat Hayden and senior associate athletic director Donna Heinel.
voice-verified
As Singer, Hayden, and Heinel walk down a hallway, they pass framed photographs of the school's sporting glory years, championship teams, Heisman winners, and Olympic athletes frozen in their moments of triumph.
voice-verified
Hayden then reaches a door and shows them into a plush office.
voice-verified
The three take seats, and for the first few minutes the conversation stays light, general talk about admissions pressure, changing demographics, and the competitiveness of elite universities.
voice-verified
Then Singer gently steers the conversation toward his own work.
voice-verified
He explains that many of his clients come from wealthy families, and these parents are willing to spend a lot of money to secure their children's futures, and that potentially includes making donations to athletic programs.
voice-verified
But Singer can tell his words aren't having much of an impact with Hayden.
voice-verified
The athletic director's eyes start wandering to a television in the corner that's carrying coverage of a USC game.
voice-verified
But Singer senses that his pitch is landing better with Associate Director Heinel.
