BOSTON—Athletic coaches charged in a sweeping college admissions scam pleaded not guilty on March 25 to taking bribes from wealthy parents in exchange for helping students get into elite universities such as Georgetown.
They appeared in Boston’s federal court nearly two weeks after they were arrested in what authorities have described as the biggest college admissions scheme ever prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department , which also ensnared prominent parents like actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.
