Right but what was needed here was something that could be done quickly that would satisfy the NCAA. [/quote]

Why would the NCAA require this, given that he was 18 and mentally competent at the time it was set up?  I'm legitimately asking - is there something NCAA-specific?[/quote]

Because Tuohy was a booster for the school and it would look bad to bring in someone just to play football, against the NCAA rules, unless he was a family member. Otherwise the NCAA could have found him ineligible.[/quote]
Here’s a crazy thought…why couldn’t they just encourage him to go to any of the better football programs he was recruited for? Why do they have to get something out of it?

Also the conservatorship clearly didn’t meet the ncaa rules since there was immediately an investigation into Michael choosing Ole Miss. [/quote]

The investigation or NCAA monitoring of Oher as a top recruit started earlier than portrayed in the movie. The conservatorship was a means to get around NCAA rules.
