Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2759239, member: 1526"] Ollie's chances of proving a defamation case against Miller are even more remote than his chances of prevailing in arbitration and/or a federal court appeal challenging the arbitration decision. It's extremely tough for public figures to successfully bring defamation cases. They have to prove not only the falsity of statements made, but also malice. Miller's statements made to the NCAA were not even published by him. He had zero control over the publication and release. He wasn't trashing Ollie on an internet blog of his own creation, or anything like that. For example, how does Ollie prove that Miller's statements about what his wife told him were false? If it's what she said he's just repeating hearsay. He doesn't say whether any of it is true or false, just what his wife told him about something. [/QUOTE]
