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 of the dad’s involvement in ole miss football booster club.  It could be seen as the living arrangement  was bribing Oher to play there.  Past scandals have seen wealthy alumni from football/basketball colleges putting high school players up in fancy properties, taking them on trips, and buying them clothes to recruit them for specific colleges with the collusion of coaches.

That’s why the dad said if you want to go to ole miss we have to do this (conservatorship) to prove we aren’t just bribing you to go to ole miss and that’s why you live with us.

I don’t care for Leigh Ann’s brand of  marketable Christianity/charity but really they were just a very wealthy family who took in a struggling kid and had a talented writer friend who wrote about it.  Oher is no doubt better off than he would have otherwise been thanks to them but he’s also entitled to reject their narrative and values as an adult.  Going after their money though is petty and dumb, they made their money off of fast food franchises not off of him. [/quote]

The movie, book, endless interviews, her whole identity had nothing to do with him?. Nothing at all?  He would be nothing without them? They definitely made coin off of Michael.
