Court documents allege that Singer's scheme turned to a sport with large rosters, little fan or media scrutiny, and wide latitude in recruiting female athletes — as well as one position that requires little physicality: rowing.
In 2017, Giannulli and Loughlin allegedly paid Singer another $200,000 to execute a near-identical scheme for their younger daughter, who was presented to USC as a coxswain with a picture of her on a rowing machine, prosecutors say. Her athletic profile said she competed with the L.A. Marina Club, which does not exist.
Muri now has a company that advises high school rowers on the recruitment process. As a coach, she said, she always recruited experienced coxswains because the skills required of them — the ability to navigate, a familiarity with the rules of the sport, a steady presence on the water — are more difficult to pick up than rowing itself, which natural athletes can excel at without much experience.
Unlike rowing recruits, Muri said, for coxswains “there isn’t a physical attribute you’re looking for — other than being small and light.” Giannulli then met with the counselor at Marymount. According to a voicemail in which Heinel recounted the episode for Singer, that meeting did not end amicably.
