A former casino executive gets sentenced for college admissions scandal

[Stanislav]

I do not get parent who care more about their kids' college situation than the kids themselves.  My favorite line to use with my kids: "I can't care more about your life than you do."

I can't care more about if they go to college, I can't care more about their grades, I can't care more about their jobs, I can't care more about who they choose to date, I can't care more about their futures.

I can.

I think expecting minors and "young adults" to have unskewed, rational priorities is unrealistic. So when they are asked to make decisions with lifelong consequences (college, loans), it is reasonable to try to steer them right to avoid catastrophes a parent can see and children ca'nt, due to lack of life experience, hormones, whatever. Of course, I'd draw a line way before committing felonies.
