Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2758351, member: 44"] It's always a value proposition. In this case the question is is the PR worth the money offered? I strongly suspect that UConn's counsel would have offered something. I've said before $4.5M over three years felt like the right number, again though, who knows? Keep in mind though they weren't buying silence. They were buying a gracious KO walking away with dignity. The narrative would have been something like "I've always tried to do the right thing and helping out the mom of kid who already played for me seemed like the right thing to do. It didn't give me any competitive advantage. But I understand that what that I did violated NCAA rules, though it didn't occur to me at the time. I apologize to all involved, the university and the fans for my mistake." That's has value to UConn and to KO, but the time for that option has passed. Not sure what you mean letting UConn off the hook. For what? [/QUOTE]
