I assume there are people who worked for the NCAA at the time who could verify this. I mean it's easy to say things like this, but without some sort of verification, well...Hitchens' razor.
Fine. Why is he still under this conservatorship at the age of 37 when his NFL career is long over?
The thing is they were counting on the idea that he would never express that because he was, falsely, led to believe this conservatorship made him part of the family. Were they ever counting on the idea that one day he'd show up and say "I want out of the family?"
"According to the legal filing, the movie paid the Tuohys and their two birth children each $225,000, plus 2.5% of the film's "defined net proceeds."
So someone is lying and it's on Michael to demonstrate it either way. I'm sure if Mr. Tuohy is telling the truth, he'd have no trouble whatsoever with the demand that they produce an accounting.
Ok, the book was published when Michael was a sophomore at Ole Miss, so how would this not be a violation of NCAA rules?
Again, why keep Michael under a conservatorship when he's nearing 40?
Would Mr. Tuohy say it's less upsetting than, as upsetting as, or more upsetting than Michael finding out after nearly 2 decades that they've been lying both to him and the public about being part of the family when he certainly was not?
