Looks like it was a money grab and not an actual grab by Guice.
Actually looks like someone trying to take advantage of a situation. Doesn't exonerate Guice in the least.

That’s how I took it, that Verge was implying that they would check the guy out through Nike or get Nike to put the screws to him. Verge probably felt like they were being extorted at that point

They play high school basketball in the Superdome? That one mistake represents the normal reporting from the Advocate.

Nike to which Verge seemed to indicate that they could find out if the guy was lying because LSU has friends at Nike who could confirm if this guy was telling the truth.
maybe, but im not sure why that would be relevant to what they were discussing

Or was it Verge saying he had connections with Nike and could hook him up through them if they left LSU out of it?

What a surprise.
Its been a shake down from the beginning.

Not at all but it doesn’t paint Gloria Scott in the best light either. There’s no way this Williams guy called LSU looking for money and she didn’t have some idea what he was up to. That also adds another angle to why lawyers and NOPD wouldn’t touch her case.

Also plausible. Either way the whole thing stinks

This is how I read it. Nike arranges for the exchange of 100K amd LSU has plausible deniability. Of course I’m cynical like that and Verge could have been just letting the guy know he wasn’t intimidated by the extortion attempt.

On the phone with Williams in 2017, Segar and Ausberry asked him over and over again to give a monetary figure of how much money he wanted for Scott, according to the recording of the call.
Unless of course they were straight up setting him up.
I wonder if it is protocol to record calls in the athletic department.

We don't have the actual tape of the conversation, so we can only go off of what is being reported...second hand. But read this statement again

Ausberry then asked Williams to confirm that he’s an AAU basketball coach ‘with Nike,’ who sponsors some AAU teams. Williams said that he was.
Sounds to me like Verge was skeptical of this guy's claim that he was an "AAU coach with Nike" and was suggesting LSU knows people at Nike who could confirm that fact.
I'm mean, this is some random guy calling to shakedown the university for $100k. It's not that farfetched an idea to think the first step in responding to trying to figure out exactly who this guy is

in any event, experts who represent sexual harassment victims say that demands for money in the wake of harassment are common, expected and do not diminish the credibility of a victim’s testimony.
This is such BS. I've worked in this field. EVERYTHING the "victim" says or does right, wrong, normal, peculiar, sane, insane, or otherwise these "experts" write off as okay, justified or normal after an incident.

Right, but my point is why do you have to verify who he is unless you are considering paying him out.
Posted on 4/5/21 at 12:14 pm to Lester Earl
My initial thought with the Verge quote was either he's saying "we have a lot of friends at Nike" and LSU can influence them to positively or negatively impact that AAU team.
Posted on 4/5/21 at 12:14 pm to Lester Earl
Because you need to know if you can believe the guy at all first before you do anything.

LSU is not going to pay money in this situation
This had nothing to do with LSU. I don't understand people's thoughts on this.
He wasn't there for LSU. He was at a HS game. What does LSU have to do with it? If any student sexually harasses and someone outside of LSU does LSU have to discipline them? No.
ETA: Sexual Harassment Laws are employer laws and school laws.

fricking extortion.
And if LSU doesn't pay and sits Guice instead, the media starts asking questions and Scott eventually gets her story out then sues. They use the fact LSU sat Guice as an admission of wrongdoing by Guice and LSU.
