The University of Kentucky has issued an 87-page response to James Paxton‘s lawsuit and also clarified that Paxton has been on the team throughout the process and his scholarship money was never in jeopardy. UK says Paxton was told not to discuss the NCAA meeting with his parents because they would likely be interviewed as part of the investigation and would need to provide individual accounts. The investigation appears to center on what I originally speculated: Paxton’s representative Scott Boras’ role in negotiations with the Toronto Blue Jays.
