On Thursday, University of California Los Angeles men's soccer coach Jorge Salcedo, who is charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering for his alleged participation in the schemed related to the college admissions scandal, resigned.

Salcedo, who has been UCLA's coach since 2004, had been on leave since March 12 when federal authorities announced indictments in the case.

According to federal indictments, Newport Beach businessman William Rick Singer, the figure at the center of the scandal, directed a payment of $100,000 from a charitable account he controlled to a sports marketing company Salcedo controlled.

He then mailed a check to Salcedo for $100,000 to facilitate the admission of two students to UCLA as purported soccer recruits, even though neither student played soccer.

Salcedo is scheduled to make his initial appearance in federal court in Boston on Monday.
