In Boston, 12 defendants in the elite college admissions scandal pleaded not guilty in a federal court Monday. The suspects include coaches and test administrators from some of the schools implicated in the scandal, including Georgetown, the University of Southern California and Wake Forest. One of the suspects, a former tennis coach at Georgetown University, is accused of accepting over $2.7 million in bribes to get at least 12 students recruited to the school as tennis players—including students who did not actually play tennis. Defendants in the case face hefty fines and a maximum prison sentence of 20 years if found guilty. More defendants are expected to appear in court in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Yale University rescinded the admission of a current student who applied to the Ivy League school with fabricated endorsements from a soccer coach.
