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]

They could have adopted him or become his legal guardians. They can lie all they want, but these were options. If they have nothing to hide they should be very vocal in insisting upon a full forensic accounting of the conservatorship.[/quote]

There’s no money in the conservatorship.  They weren’t acting as his agents signing contracts for him which by the way they would have had more power to do if they adopted him.  All the nfl money went to him.  There was very little money from the movie/book and they all split it.   Oher claims this was about money but it clearly wasn’t.  He’s either naive and poorly advised or just believes he can get money out of them from their other businesses.

Leigh Ann’s foundation doesn’t pay either of them salaries.  It raises and spends pretty modest amount of money on things like school remodeling projects.

Her public speaking brings in some money but not in the millions, she mostly advocates for fostering and adoption.  Her book is at only ranked at 90,000 while Michaels is at 5000.  Again, no millions there.

I have no idea where oher is getting his ‘millions’ figure from.  If he wants more millions he should invest in lots of fast food franchises like they did.  Maybe then he can take in a struggling kid and help him apply to college.  [/quote]
