The four-paragraph email Eleanor Myers wrote in March 2010 has been a frequent exhibit during the first two weeks of testimony in former USC assistant football coach Todd McNair's defamation trial against the NCAA.
"On the other side," Myers, a member of the NCAA infractions committee that sanctioned McNair and USC, said in the email to the rest of the group, "we have a botched interview in which McNair did not have a good opportunity to explain the call since the date staff questioned him about was wrong."
During testimony Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Myers defended the email and the committee's handling of the case against McNair and USC.
