Episode description as stored

The parents caught in Varsity Blues went to extraordinary lengths to get their kids into elite colleges. But the system was already tilted in their favor. Journalist Paul Tough explains how decades of rising competition, college rankings and enrollment management transformed higher education into a marketplace where wealth can open doors — and why fixing it may require changing the way America thinks about college itself.
