David Sidoo, whose career as a professional football player, stockbroker and venture capitalist has been overshadowed by the revelation he paid $200,000 to fix his sons’ college entrance exams, was sentenced Wednesday to 90 days in prison.
Before being sentenced, Sidoo apologized to his family, his colleagues, his former coaches and the children he had mentored. “You deserved better,” he told them.“I hope that in time, people will not judge me for the worst moment in my life,” he said. In a series of indictments and other documents filed in court, prosecutors described how Sidoo worked with Singer to fix his sons’ exams and falsify their college applications. His criminal conduct was prolonged and “not a one-off lapse in judgment,” Justin D.
