BOSTON (AP) — William H. Macy talked about his daughter's "stressful" college application process earlier this year.
The actor's comments came two months before his wife, Felicity Huffman, was among more than 30 parents charged in a sweeping college admissions bribery scam.
Macy said in the January interview with Parade magazine that his family was "in the thick of college application time, which is so stressful."
Huffman was one of 13 people, including actress Lori Loughlin , taken into custody Tuesday in Los Angeles. Authorities have not said why Macy wasn't charged.
Court documents say Huffman paid $15,000 she disguised as a charitable donation so her daughter could partake in the college entrance cheating scam.
Authorities say it is the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice.
Wake Forest University says it has suspended its head volleyball coach amid a sweeping federal investigation into admissions bribes.
The North Carolina school says it placed Bill Ferguson on administrative leave but declined further comment.
Ferguson is accused of accepting $100,000 to recruit a student who had been on Wake Forest's wait list.
Other coaches are accused of taking bribes to admit students at schools including Georgetown University and the University of Southern California.
Prosecutors say the bribes were orchestrated by William "Rick" Singer, a California admissions consultant who is scheduled to plead guilty to charges including racketeering conspiracy.
USC says it is reviewing any admissions decisions and payments tied to the case.
Prosecutors say the investigation is ongoing but that it appears schools were not involved in the scheme.
