Former USC assistant coach Todd McNair has been granted a new trial in his long-standing defamation lawsuit against the NCAA.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Frederick Shaller issued an order for a new trial Wednesday morning, citing insufficient evidence to justify the original verdict and implied bias from a juror.
In May, a jury in Los Angeles ruled in favor of the NCAA following a three-week defamation trial stemming from McNair's involvement in the Reggie Bush extra benefits scandal.
