Every family connected to the scandal(s) in any way
Every taxpayer who funds scholarships fraudulently awarded
Every student who achieved ACT scores legitimately but share the score with someone who cheated to get it
Every coach, student athlete, or other staff member that you shifted blame onto in order to sustain the cheating
Every person with a shred of conscience remaining who participated in cheating
Every person associated with your university who will now have to deal with the PR consequences of your getting caught

Just a few off the top of my head...
