Or if their main goal was to get him into Ole Miss without triggering NCAA violations, and if consevatorship was both simpler and sufficient, why look any further into adoption? Just do the less complicated thing.

He's suing the Tuohys for ripping him off. He's not suing because the Tuohys used a consevatorship over adoption to get him into college (something Oher knew about years ago per his biography). Now the fact that Oher indeed got paid is definitely something his lawyers give a shit about. The prospect of a payday for both them and Oher just sank.
The total payout may be less than expected. But the family has all along said they split the proceeds evenly between all the family members and Oher. So, the numbers here, incl. Oher's amount, roughly work out.
Exactly. But the story you tell just doesn't give reddit the same racial justice boner. So, most choose instead the more sensational and satisfying (but far less plausible) scenario.
Reddit's speed at (wrongly) vilifying the Tuohys is soon to be memory-hold. Watch (or rather not) for vindicating facts, such as the present ones, to (never) get elevated to the same degree as the more dopamine-inducing false allegations.
