[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 955944, member: 2426"] Which money are you talking about in the "next sentence"? Most of the reports I have seen about this include the emotional -- not adoption just a conservatorship -- language but no real accusations of financial malfeasance. I didn't see any accusations of controlling his NFL money with the conservatorship after college. Maybe I missed something. The family stated that royalties from the book/movie were evenly split and amounted to something around than $100k per person. (Don't remember the exact amount.) I don't have all of the financial information, nor all of the accusations of financial impropriety, but what I have seen doesn't look like a lot to base a lawsuit on. Also, the father sold a business, unrelated to Oher, for something around $200 million. I don't think the family needs nor had a need to grift off of anyone. I would question why the conservatorship wasn't ended after he left college. I didn't see any accusations that the family controlled his NFL money or was still controlling anything today. I will follow that up with making it clear that I highly suspectful of anyone who promotes themselves as being extremely generous. It is a lot like being extremely good at sports, if you are that generous it will be known without you having to tell anyone. Someone who happens to "adopt" or "conserve for" a poor boy, who also happens to be a recruited athlete, and then that athlete happens to attend the college they support raises a lot of questions.
