This feels like the Hami Diallo recruitment but with Indiana playing UConn’s role in that one
Nah, IIRC there was some evidence that Hami was picking UK. I don’t remember the situation exactly but I remember watching his decision live expecting it to be UK.

That bozo friend of Ollie's stressed me out for a month over that recruitment

So much for the student athlete. That concept is officially dead. College athletes are basically employees of the school now.

Wanna know something crazy? They've always been employees of the school. "Student athlete" was just a made up term to avoid paying workers' comp. And that's straight from the mouth of the guy who made it up.

No matter what he says about it, for many years the NLRB and others considered all students a separate category, and Congress went along. Student workers were excluded from paying taxes, they couldn’t unionize etc. The legal changes are recent and they’ve already forced colleges into eliminating student labor outside of sports. It’s a really weird world out there

“No matter what the guy who concocted the scheme says about it” is a wild way to frame a response.

When there's a lot of court decisions and caselaw behind it, I'd put a helluva lot more stock in that.

Surely you do too, no?

Let's face it. This was overturned on a wave of popular protest, the judge presiding over the main cases has blatantly said, "I don't understand any of the money." She has no clarity at all and has admitted it. Personally I think she's out of her depth, and I'm not surprised that the SC is just going along with it. The NLRB, the courts, all of these in the past, carved out a space for students because this was an antitrust issue.

What always bothered me about HD was how he always hung out with the team playing pickup games etc. It seems like he used the team for free practice.
