The first two parents entered guilty pleas in the Operation Varsity Blues investigation on Wednesday.  

Bruce Isackson, 62, and Davina Isackson, 55, of Hillsborough, Calif., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. 

Bruce also pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to defraud the IRS. 

As part of their deals, prosecutors will recommend that Davina serve between 27 and 33 months in prison while her husband will likely spend somewhere between 37 and 46 months.

The charges are remarkably similar to the ones facing Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, the Isacksons spent $600,000 to have William Rick Singer facilitate their daughters' admission into the University of Southern California by creating bogus athletic profiles for the girls.
