On Monday, the jury tasked with deciding whether or not the NCAA defamed former USC running backs coach Todd McNair finally made their ruling. They sided with the NCAA.
At least, the jury ruled in favor of the NCAA, determining that McNair’s legal team had not reached the high burden of proof necessary to award him the millions of dollars in damages he sought.
The ruling was a victory for the NCAA’s pocket books, but it wasn’t a victory for the NCAA, or a loss for USC.
The trial which had been delayed for years stretched on for three weeks.
