Dude sounds like a straight up boss. Supposedly he could take either the ACT or SAT and score exactly what's needed to qualify a student.
If you don't already know, athletes get to use a composite score of their class grades and standardized test score to gain admittance to a university. If they have have a 1.7 GPA, they need a good ACT to get in. If they have a decent GPA, then they may only need a 15 to get in.
Also if a kid makes a 14 on the ACT and then makes a 29 the next time, the NCAA will flag it and probably make them take it again in a more controlled environment.
This Mark Riddell guy at IMG (a Harvard grad) was a director at IMG and was also a ACT and SAT test proctor. He would take a standardized test for a kid and make whatever grade was needed to minimally qualify them without setting off the NCAA's bomb squad. If a kid need a 1190 on the SAT, he could nail it on the dot EVERY time. If a kid need a 26, he could nail it on the dot every time.
Supposedly he was getting around $10,000 per test from boosters. He'd do around 3-4 test on the weekends.
Not bad work if you can get it...
