Rick Singer, the mastermind of the Varsity Blues case, and the main cooperating witness, was sentenced today to 3.5 years in prison. Although it was significantly lower than the guidelines urged by the government, it was the highest sentence of all 50+ defendants who were sentenced in the case.
Here's a good thread on the sentencing from Shelley Murphy who covered it:
Prosecutor Stephen Frank tells judge that Singer deserves a higher sentence than others in Varsity Blues case because "without him this massive, historic national scheme would never have happened…he is the face of this fraud."

NPR had a good article setting forth all of the issues in advance of the sentencing.
