For what it’s worth, it’s pretty much accepted now that the AD Pat Haden and the school president Max Nikias didn’t want to push back against the NCAA or sue them because of all the other stuff that was going on that was being covered up at the same time (varsity blues, the Dean of the med school having heavy drug sex parties on campus, the school doctor assaulting students, Haden embezzling money.) The Reggie allegations also happened when Max was in charge of compliance before rising to school president. They wanted the spotlight and investigations to go away as quick as possible.
