Authorities say, former Yale women's soccer coach Rudy Meredith received a $400,000 payment for designating a non-athlete as a recruit. (Doug Engle/Star-Banner via AP)Yale confirmed Monday that it rescinded the admission of a student linked to the college admissions cheating and bribery scandal. The university’s former women’s soccer coach, who is set to appear Thursday in federal court, was indicated in court documents to be a cooperating witness in an FBI probe that has yielded charges for 50 people, including numerous other coaches and wealthy parents. “Yale has rescinded the admission of one student as a result of this matter,” spokesman Tom Conroy said in a statement. Yale did not provide any other details about the student.
