Bob Knight refused a $75,000 check from an anonymous Indiana booster, which would’ve settled a long-standing suit between the legendary Hoosiers coach and his ex-school. (Details of the suit are here.)
This means two things:
1. It’s not about the money; Knight clearly wants the school to admit it’s at fault.
2. Knight’s not attending next week’s induction ceremony for Indiana University’s Hall of Fame.
Is there a better way to say “I’m not coming, and I’m not even bothering to decline the RSVP” than by shrugging off 75 grand? Maybe get Luca Brasi involved, but that’s about it.
Indiana fans and onlookers had been wondering for months if Knight would attend. Imagine trying to plan an event around the possibility of the biggest sports figure in the state’s history not attending. It’s be ulcer upon ulcer.
Well, stop wondering. Knight’s made up his mind about next week, even if he’s not saying it.
