The University of Southern California fired a high-ranking athletic administrator and a head coach after they were indicted Tuesday for their alleged roles in a massive college admissions bribery scheme. Meanwhile, Stanford University ousted sailing coach John Vandemoer as part of the scheme. The terminations marked some of the first major repercussions of what the FBI is calling a nationwide conspiracy.

In a statement Tuesday afternoon, USC said it had terminated Donna Heinel, the schools senior associate athletic director, and Jovan Vavic, the mens and womens water polo coach.

Heinel and Vavic have been accused of accepting bribes of more than $1.3 million and $250,000, respectively, to help students get into the elite private university by designating them as athletes.

We understand that the government believes that illegal activity was carried out by individuals who went to great lengths to conceal their actions from the university, the school said in a statement . USC is conducting an internal investigation. Donna Heinel and Jovan Vavic have been terminated and the university will take additional employment actions as appropriate.

The university also said it was in the process of identifying any funds it had received through the conspiracy and would be reviewing its admissions processes broadly to ensure that such actions do not occur going forward.

Dozens of administrators, coaches, celebrity parents and CEOs were charged in the FBI investigation on Tuesday, accused of engaging in a bribe scheme to secure students entrance into universities including Yale, Harvard, Georgetown and USC. Actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were among the parents who were indicted.
