This may have legs beyond basketball...

Sometime during the fall of 2016, a mutual friend introduced Blazer to Rashan Michel, a former NBA and Southeastern Conference referee. After leaving his NBA referee role in 2001, Michel opened Thompson Bespoke Clothiers in Atlanta, which sold high-end, custom-tailored suits. His clients included NFL players such as Todd Gurley, Teddy Bridgewater, Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans, among others. In 2014, Michel designed the suits worn by the top seven picks in the NFL draft, according to his social media account.

This past spring, former LSU tailback Leonard Fournette and former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson were among the players who wore Michel's suits on the first night of the NFL draft.

So since my girlfriend owns a pair of Adidas shoes, does that mean she's involved also?

He was already a pro by then so I'm not concerned, but they will look into football is the point.

A private citizen can't sell a suit to another private citizen anymore?

This is still America, right?

But an issue is that he may have been illicitly steered towards the agent/clothing when he was still in school.

As long as Bama is exposed, I'd be alright with it all burning down.

Well, I guess you could have just said that in your OP instead of smearing possibly the best tailback to walk the halls of LSU.

GTFO

He could have also just gotten a draft suit from a guy who is famous for making draft suits.

Unless I'm mistaken, LF was wearing a Zegna suit for the NFL draft. He tweeted a thank you to Zegna and Met-Rx.

I think it is more of a connection between some shady guys and an NBA / SEC basketball referee. Game fixing and favorable calls would be my worry.

ETA: Maybe the league office should be concerned.

Yes. See "Louisville offers sex and hookers to recruits". That is where I would start looking...
