NCAA's Emails Opened in USC Probe: Worse Than Imagined

Tenacious D · Mar 25, 2015

I don't know how many final nails can be in one coffin, but damned if the AA is trying to fit another on their own.

A series of recently unsealed documents related to the NCAA's investigation of the USC athletic program, including numerous emails between members of the Committee on Infractions, offer a damning look inside the organization’s arbitrary decision-making process.

The NCAA publicly filed nearly 500 pages of documents in court Tuesday as part of a defamation suit brought by former USC assistant football coach Todd McNair, according to a report from Nathan Fenno of the Los Angeles Times. The NCAA had fought vigorously to keep the documents away from the public eye.

You couldn't script it any better (worse?):

Among the highlights from the filing:

• Rodney Uphoff, a University of Missouri professor serving as a non-voting member on the NCAA infractions committee, compared the evidence against McNair to that of the Oklahoma City bombing.

“But there is no question that the evidence in this case is much stronger than against (convicted accomplice Terry) Nichols in the OKC case,” wrote Uphoff in an undated memo. Uphoff was appointed to represent Nichols in the bombing case.

• McNair’s lawyer’s brief quotes Shepard Cooper, the director of the Committee on Infractions, as saying he believes “McNair shouldn’t be coaching at any level….He’s a lying, morally bankrupt criminal, in my view.”

And this offers the most insight into the AA's mindset, and its methods, and is most damning of all:

Howard continued: “McNair should have all inferences negatively inferred against him,” Roscoe Howard. “Credibility determinations are for this committee and this committee alone. As with all tribunals or fact finders, we need not say why we disbelieve him, we need only let the public, or whomever, know that we disbelieve him.”

Emphasis mine, not that I'm sure it was necessary.
