A thought about Todd McNair's lawsuit.

The other day, USCfootball.com revealed Todd McNair's response to the NCAA's motions.  There's really just one section that everyone should pay attention to, because it gives us an idea of what may be coming, later this year.

The NCAA had argued that, (among a half dozen other half-baked reasons) because they do not have the power to compel witnesses to come forward and testify, unsealing the documents would discourage future witnesses from coming forward to spill the beans.  McNair's lawyers countered:

"In fact many of the documents which the NCAA seeks to shield from public view consist of emails and other communications between committee member and others that do not even involve fact witnesses whom the NCAA claims it does not want to deter from future cooperation. Rather, as recognized by the trial court, the most damaging and embarrassing documents are internal NCAA communications establishing that the NCAA maliciously found McNair committed unethical conduct so that it would have a basis to severely punish the USC football program."

Now, realize that the Court allowed NCAA agents' characterization of McNair to be published:

"Individuals like McNair shouldn't be coaching at ANY level."
"Lying morally bankrupt criminal."
"Hypocrite of the highest order."

So you know what this means?  There are worse things written in those emails being held back from the public's view.  Wow, right?!?!

We read hints about this previously, but this is confirmation that things are really bad for the NCAA.  Folks, upon losing their appeal I fear that the NCAA will immediately offer a huge settlement to try to keep these documents hidden.  If they don't stop these documents from coming out, a lot of heads will roll.
