What Knight the university the state did to Neil and the student reporter and professor was just plain evil. Neil was the player everyone in that state loves to have and they turned on him and his father all because a bully past his prime said so.
The university and town enabled Knight in every way like nobody ever questioned why 3 McDonald's All Americans transferred in 2 seasons especially Neil. Their narrative they picked up from Knight was these players weren't tough but Neil was out there balling every game with a separated shoulder.
Sad but predictable cac college sports fan behavior.
