That's if this actually goes to court.
Does ole miss really want all of the "discovery" process to continue and for the news to be both ncaa + lawsuit (each time with the mention of 50 years going on)?
I think ole miss tries to settle this purely to avoid the continue PR hit.
Let's not forget that Bjork himself said,
quote:
many of the allegations dating back to the former football staff in 2010
In court they can discuss, "some" vs "few" vs "many" and look at that compared to the rest of the allegations vs the current football staff.
tldr: ole miss settles just to get this to go away quickly imo, and nutt gets paid to leave ole miss and then gets paid again.

I must've missed the part where Bjork explicitly named Nutt in that statement, and the most egregious claim other than LOIC levied against Ole Miss happened under Nutt. Also, isn't the contract sealed under file? The only people realistically who'd know the exact stipulations of the contract would be the parties who negotiated and agreed to the contract currently. If there's a breach of contract, it'll be clear, but I'm not sure anyone on this forum has seen the contract and would be able to note its clauses.
But I agree, the best course would probably be to settle. Nutt's pulling out the stops to attempt an air tight case, and a settlement is much less messy than if the cornball succeeds against Ole Miss

TOTFR and AustinDawg have both nailed it on the head. Nutt has a huge up-hill battle to win the supposed +$11M verdict someone else threw out there earlier (where they pulled that number from sounds like some ED bullshite) but Ole Miss would likely want to write a check and get the piece of shite has been Coach to go away.
