John Vandemoer is one of the few participants in the infamous college admissions scandal to sit down for an interview in Netflix’s new documentary Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal, named after the codename the FBI gave its investigation into the conspiracy.
If you found yourself wondering about the former Stanford University head sailing coach, you’ll soon have the opportunity to hear the whole story from his point of view.
Though he lost his job at Stanford after serving as the school’s head sailing coach for 11 years, Vandemoer has a new job — and a book deal. His role in the college admissions scandal resulted in a sentence of six months on house arrest as part of his two years of supervised release, plus a fine of $10,000.

Vandemoer declined to be interviewed for this story, but according to his LinkedIn profile, he’s been working as a project manager for Water Solutions, Inc., which designs and offers consulting on safe drinking water systems, since July 2019. His house arrest ended in December 2019, and he continues to coach sailing independently, according to the doc.
His book, Rigged Justice: How the College Admissions Scandal Ruined an Innocent Man’s Life, will be published by Harper Collins on Sept. 28, 2021. Here is a portion of the description from the Harper Collins Canada website:
“The former Stanford University sailing coach sentenced in the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal tells the riveting true story of how he was drawn unwittingly into a web of deceit in this eye-opening memoir that offers a damning portrait of modern college administration and the ways in which justice and fairness do not always intersect.”
