Operation Varsity Blues refers to the 2019 FBI investigation into a massive criminal conspiracy to influence undergraduate admissions at several top American universities. The scandal, which implicated celebrities like Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, immediately became a goldmine for internet meme culture. Memes typically focus on the absurdity of wealthy parents faking athletic credentials for their children or paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to rig entrance exams. It is widely used to critique systemic inequality in education and the lengths the elite will go to maintain prestige, often featuring 'Aunt Becky' in mock prison settings or satirical 'how-to' guides for getting into Yale.
