Todd McNair Loses Ruling in Defamation Trial Against NCAA, Was Seeking $27M

A jury found in favor of the NCAA in a lawsuit filed against the sports organization by former USC assistant football coach Todd McNair, who said the NCAA defamed him and lied about him in its investigation into impermissible benefits received by former running back Reggie Bush.

Keely Eure of the Trojans' football website passed along the verdict.

McNair had been seeking $27 million in damages due to lost wages. The 52-year-old coach has been out of football since 2010 due in large part to his connection with the scandal.
