A former University of Southern California soccer coach who took bribes in exchange for helping unqualified kids into the school has been sentenced to six months in home confinement.

Khosroshahin is the fifth athletic coach to be sentenced in in the Operation Varsity Blues probe that revealed a scheme to get wealthy kids into top universities through rigged test scores and bogus athletic credentials.

That could change Friday, when ex-Georgetown University tennis coach Gordon Ernst is scheduled to be sentenced for pocketing more than $3 million in bribes. Prosecutors are asking for four years in prison; Ernst's attorneys say he deserves about a year. Prosecutors said in court documents that he initially “expressed reticence" at the idea when approached by Singer, but ultimately decided to join the scheme and pull in his assistant coach, Laura Janke.
