   The former UCLA men's soccer coach will plead guilty to taking   
   $200,000 in bribes as part of the college admissions cheating   
   scheme, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.   
      
   Jorge Salcedo, 47, of Los Angeles, will admit to getting bribes   
   in exchange for helping get one male and one female student into   
   the school as fake soccer recruits. He will plead guilty to a   
   racketeering conspiracy charge, according to court documents.   
      
   Salcedo was among 50 people charged last year in the case that   
   has embroiled the world of higher education. More than 30   
   wealthy parents, coaches at elite schools and others have   
   already pleaded guilty to taking or paying bribes to rig college   
   entrance exams or have students recruited to teams for sports   
   they didn't play.   
      
   An email seeking comment was sent to Salcedo's lawyer Tuesday.   
      
   Salcedo accepted $100,000 to help California couple Bruce and   
   Davina Isackson get their daughter into UCLA as a bogus soccer   
   recruit, prosecutors said. The Isacksons also have pleaded   
   guilty and have been cooperating with authorities in the hopes   
   of getting a lighter sentence.   
      
   Salcedo took another $100,000 bribe from the admissions   
   consultant at the center of the scheme, Rick Singer, to   
   "recruit" the son of Xiaoning Sui of Surrey, British Columbia,   
   to his team, authorities said. Singer and Sui also have pleaded   
   guilty.   
      
   Other parents charged in the case include "Full House" star Lori   
   Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli,   
   who are accused of paying $500,000 to get their two daughters   
   into USC as crew recruits even though neither girl was a rower.   
      
   The couple says they're innocent and that their payments were   
   legitimate donations. They're scheduled to go to trial alongside   
   six other parents in October.   
      
   "Desperate Housewives" actress Felicity Huffman admitted to   
   paying $15,000 to have someone cheat on her daughter's SAT exam.   
   She was sentenced to two weeks in prison.
