What are we really talking about here?

 

11 months is a long time to leverage jail time against negotiating a legal payoff to avoid prosecution. After using tax payer dollars to collect all the evidence, it then became a matter of carving into future professional earnings of a five-star football recruit, undoubtedly highly known around campus.

 

Blackmail. All nice and legal like. When it failed push a button under the table and the floor drops out on the accuser's prey.

 

Study how a combination like the Gator-infested media works, and how the other Teddy, Roosevelt, fixed it with anti-trust legislation.

 

This entire premeditated, laying in wait, predatory, entrapment ordeal is something you'd more likely expect to see on a frontier steamboat than in a modern circumspect society.
