A new batch of documents released Wednesday further suggest the NCAA broke its own rules and displayed bias toward USC and former assistant coach Todd McNair during the Reggie Bush investigation.
The documents also indicate that members of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions had doubts about the validity of the case against McNair, who is accused of lying to NCAA investigators.
The documents were part of a brief filed with the 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles by McNair’s attorneys, who in June 2011 filed a defamation suit against the NCAA. The Register obtained the documents, which include 256 pages of internal NCAA e-mails and court transcripts.
