Nike Lawyer: "We never said we haven't been paying players."

This seems... significant:

Monday, the fourth day of the trial, a business consultant testified that the Swoosh directed payments to the families and handlers of high school basketball players, and a Nike attorney did not deny the company had made payments to players.

“I’ve never told the government there was no evidence of Nike making payments to players,” Nike attorney Scott Wilson testified Monday.

After Wilson concluded his testimony, consultant Jeff Auerbach of the Los Angeles-based firm Bedford Consulting testified that Nike directed Gary Franklin, the longtime director of the Nike-sponsored Cal Supreme AAU basketball program, to make payments to the families and handlers of Deandre Ayton, Bol Bol and Brandon McCoy, including a $10,000 cash payment to Ayton’s mother Andrea on June 29, 2016.
