Professor hired by NCAA defends his role in USC sanctions during McNair trial

"Was there anything unusual with what you did in the McNair case?" Rakesh Kilaru, one of the NCAA's attorneys, asked.

"What I did in this case I did in every case," said Uphoff, a Missouri law professor who served as a nonvoting member of the committee.

During the cross-examination, Broillet pointed out none of the 18 penalties proposed against USC in February 2010 before the McNair ruling included a television ban.
