发帖数: 764 | 1 In his complaint filed Friday, June 3rd in the Superior Court of Los Angeles
County, McNair asks for damages to be found in the following areas; libel,
slander, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, tortious
interference with contractual relations, breach of contract, negligence and
declaratory relief.
McNair was a key link for the NCAA to tie the university to knowledge of the
fact that Bush had received illegal benefits from would-be sports marketer
Lloyd Lake while he was still playing for the Trojans. The proposed agency
was an agreement between Lake and Bush's step-father Lamar Griffin with the
hopes that Bush would be the headline client once he declared for the NFL
draft but Bush eventually decided not to sign with the agency.
The NCAA believed Lake’s story that a two-minute phone call between Lake
and McNair in the middle of the night in January 2006 involved a discussion
of the fact that Bush was not paying back money given to him by Lake,
presumably as an advance against future representation earnings.
McNair challenges many of the findings of the NCAA, including the thought
that Lake ever implicated McNair as having knowledge of improper benefits.
Needless to say, that is a pretty big contrast to what was said in the NCAA
ruling so that will definitely be a situation to watch if the case ever
makes it to trial.
When the NCAA handed down sanctions against USC in the case in June 2010, it
included a show cause penalty against McNair which meant that he could not
be involved with recruiting and any school that wanted to hire him in the
future had to first get approval from the NCAA. When McNair’s USC contract
expired at the end of June, 2010 it was not renewed.
McNair filed an appeal last fall against the ruling, separate from the USC
case, but it was recently denied. The USC appeal case was also denied in
recent weeks. | N**D
