Two prep school graduates sought to use their sports connections and business acumen to establish a monopoly on drug sales to high school students in the affluent Main Line suburbs of Philadelphia, authorities said Monday.

Neil Scott, 25, and Timothy Brooks, 18, recruited and supplied dealers with marijuana, cocaine, Ecstasy and hash oil to sell to teens at five high schools in the tony bedroom communities, authorities said.

A four-month investigation revealed the pair also hired students at Haverford, Gettysburg and Lafayette colleges to peddle drugs at those Pennsylvania schools, authorities said.

Scott and Brooks are graduates of The Haverford School, a $35,000-a-year private institution where both played lacrosse. They tapped their sports and social networks to help further their enterprise, officials said.

1. The only way this is interesting

is if these wastes of oxygen get actual judgment. Otherwise, it's par for the course.

4. So We Believe Whatever Prosecutors Say?

I don't think so. This is armchair quarterbacking right now. They ALWAYS massively exaggerate and lie tools their cases. C'mon. We all know that here on DU.

2. The absolute worst people I have ever known

are kids who had no interest in or aptitude for academics getting shunted off to prep schools and the "right" colleges by parents who were trying to live their own ambition through their kids.

They all had rap sheets by the time they were 25 and it wasn't for getting caught smoking dope.
