He was really interested and knew
I wanted a second assistant coach, and I was struggling
to fundraise for that position, and he said, "Hey, through my foundation, I would like to donate
$110,000 to the program to get you through
a year or two of funding that position." He's like, "No strings attached." "I just wanna continue our relationship
and keep bringing people to you and have you look at 'em." I said, "Great. That's fantastic." I think this was
a slippery slope for John, and he didn't knowingly wake up and say, "You know what? Today I'm going to
join this racketeering conspiracy." But all the government have to prove is
"Did you accept the money in exchange for something
that the giver of the money wanted and didn't duly earn, didn't deserve?" The biggest factor
in the Stanford coach's case was he didn't personally enrich himself
