at lunch today, i was speaking about this with a co-worker and he brings up a good point. Its very possible that nothing will ever come out of this; lets assume that the NCAA is waiting for bush trial depositions to collect more evidence.......what if 'USC' can settle this thing before it hits court? What if they pay everyone off before the mud is thrown around in court?
It makes sense for 'USC' to foot the bill for everything; paying off the guy that wants the 300K from bush, paying off bush to keep quiet, to make all this go away. Lets say they give 300k to the guy suing Bush, and then pay off Bush with another 300K to 'quiet' him.
Wouldnt 600K be worth it to USC to make all this go away? to keep all the wins, the NC's, and most of all, to save face? I think, yes.
I'm not saying its going to go down this way, but it was just an interesting point brought up today during lunch.
