Night Watch: The Biggest College Admissions Scam Ever: Operation Varsity Blues Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

Rick Singer didn’t just bend the college admissions process. He sold a way around it. He is as con-man as they come: promising wealthy families guaranteed acceptance to elite universities through a secret “side door” powered by fake athletic profiles, bribed coaches, rigged test scores, and a nonprofit used to move millions without raising alarms. For years, he and his clients thought they could get away with it. But the feds were watching the entire time.

In the final episode of Night Watch: University Week, Katie breaks into Operation Varsity Blues, uncovering everything from Olivia Jade to other fake rowing recruits. From wiretaps and indictments to prison sentences and lingering questions, this is the story of how privilege rewrote the rules…and whether anything has truly changed since.

Night Watch: The Night “Brotherhood” Failed Frat Pledge Timothy Piazza Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

A fellow pledge begged for help. No one called 911. By morning, a 19-year-old freshman was dead on a fraternity couch. Inside the Beta Theta Pi house at Penn State, cameras and messages recorded every missed chance to act: the drinking, the falls, the fear, and the silence. Katie walks through the night Timothy Piazza went to a bid event and never came home, the evidence that led prosecutors to charge 18 fraternity members, and why accountability in this case took years to arrive…if it arrived at all.

Night Watch: His Affair Got Him Arrested: Here’s What Sherrone Moore Did Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

College is supposed to be a fresh start. But for some, it becomes the setting for abuse, fraud, and crimes hidden in plain sight. This week, Katie breaks down the cases that turned college campuses into crime scenes in a special edition of Night Watch: University Week.

To kick it off, Katie breaks down a case that’s happening right now: the downfall of Sherrone Moore: the man who was supposed to lead the University of Michigan into its next chapter. Instead, he was fired for cause and booked into county jail as investigators allege harassment and a late night break-in at a former employee’s home. Who was the woman he had an affair with? How long was it going on? And how long did he think he could keep it a secret? Katie walks through what is publicly known, what the charging documents say, and why this case landed so hard in Ann Arbor.
