Operation Varsity Blues: Here's Where Rick Singer Went to College Himself 5 Shares Though William "Rick" Singer became known as the linchpin of the 2019 college bribery scandal, he's a relatively obscure figure. Netflix's Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal pulls back from the celebrity aspect of the situation (as the case involved household names such as Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin) and offers a closer look at lesser-known players. Full of dramatic reenactments, the documentary shines a light on how university coaches and test administrators accepted bribes. It dives into Singer's personal story as well, including his early life. So where did Singer, the ringleader of America's most infamous college bribery scandal, go to college himself? Singer actually went to a few colleges and worked at a couple of schools before embarking on his collegiate scams.
