Attorneys for former USC assistant football coach Todd McNair planned to question Emmert on Feb. 9 at an office in the 49-floor Salesforce Tower in downtown Indianapolis. The videotaped session would start at 1:30 p.m. and continue for as many days as necessary, Sundays and holidays excluded.
The would-be deposition is the latest dispute in McNair's long-running defamation lawsuit against the NCAA in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
The case is scheduled for trial next month, almost seven years after McNair first sued in the aftermath of a scandal over extra benefits revolving around former USC running back Reggie Bush.
