NCAA: Appeals Court Order to Provide O’Brien Documentation



NCAA Fights Court Order: The NCAA has appealed an Ohio court’s decision to open records in the Ohio State basketball program investigation. The NCAA, classifying its information as “highly sensitive” and involving “high-profile witnesses,” filed the appeal with the Ohio Court of Claims. The court deemed the documentation as necessary in former head coach Jim O’Brien’s lawsuit against the university. O’Brien was fired in June of 2004 for infractions that included paying cash to recruits in 1999. He is suing the school over his firing and the $3.5 million that would have been remaining on his contract. [7/22/05]
