Save the straw man.  Nobody believes that.
What I believe,  however, is that even bad claims have value.  Particularly if it's in favor of the status quo.  In this case, the status quo is that UConn has the money, and Ollie does not.  The burden is on Ollie to change it.  Expensive and time consuming.  And, to be clear, it would be very unlikely for UConn to proceed without at least some evidence in its favor.

I have a case right now where my Amish client was owed 10k on a 30k home improvement contract that was 90% completed.  Homeowner was going bankrupt, however, so he didn't pay.  My guy, being Amish, writes it off and gets on with his life.  Almost 4 years later the homeowner filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  His lawyer files a lawsuit against the Amish guy for 16 grand, claiming that the work the Amish guy did was horrible.  What's really going on is the lawyer knows the Amish guy won't counter sue because of his religion, and he knows from experience that the Amish guy will just write a check for 5 or 7 grand to make it go away and not have to pay an attorney, regardless of the truth.
Problem for him is that the Amish guy has a lawyer working for him mostly pro bono.
