Court ruling: NCAA can't seal Todd McNair documents
A California appeals court judge ruled Friday that the NCAA cannot seal hundreds of emails and documents in the defamation case that former USC assistant Todd McNair has filed against the sanctioning body.
“We are not convinced by the NCAA’s contention that public disclosure of its documents will make future investigations more difficult for the NCAA to conduct,” the 16-page opinion said.
At an October hearing in front of a three-justice panel, the NCAA argued that unsealing the documents would hinder future investigations by the organization.
Laura Wytsma, representing the NCAA, told the justices at the hearing that the organization isn’t trying to obscure “wrongful conduct” by sealing the documents.
“The NCAA has been as transparent as it can be on this one,” Wytsma said.
The ruling from the NCAA's appeal dates back to 2012, when a judge called NCAA "malicious" in its investigation of McNair. When the documents are unsealed and released to the public, it could be the second time in a year that internal communications surrounding a high-profile investigation don't paint the NCAA in a flattering light after the information released in the Penn State case,
McNair sued the NCAA in 2011 after punishments against USC in the Reggie Bush case. USC suffered scholarship losses and a bowl ban while McNair was given a show-cause penalty for a year.
The NCAA said he knew about improper gifts that Bush had received while he was at USC and lied about his knowledge. He served as USC's running backs coach for six seasons under Pete Carroll. McNair was a running back in the NFL from 1989-1996.
After the penalties, McNair didn't have his USC contract renewed and filed the suit when his appeal was denied.

Florida hires Texas DL coach Chris Rumph for same position
Rumph spent the 2014 season as the assistant head coach for defense and defensive line coach at the University of Texas. Before his lone season at Texas, Rumph was the defensive line coach at Alabama for three seasons under Nick Saban. That stint included one season on the Crimson Tide’s staff with McElwain, who served as Alabama’s offensive coordinator from 2008-11.
“Chris and I obviously have some experience working together from our days at Alabama,” McElwain said. “He joins a group of thinkers on our staff and is someone who will positively affect our players’ lives – both on and off the field.”
With Rumph on staff, Alabama’s defense was fifth nationally in total defense in 2013 and was best in the country in 2011 and 2012, when the Crimson Tide won back-to-back national championships.
Before joining Alabama’s staff, Rumph coached the defensive line at Clemson (2006-10), coached outside linebackers at Memphis (2003-05) and defensive backs at South Carolina State in 2002. He also had a five-year stint as head coach at Calhoun County High School in St. Matthews, S.C.
Florida’s defense ranked 15th nationally in total defense in 2014 as the Gators finished 7-5.

Mike Weber's HS coach says Weber feels misled by Ohio State
The high school coach of four-star running back recruit Mike Weber said he and Weber feel like they were misguided by Ohio State.
Weber, an RB from Michigan, signed with the defending national champions on National Signing Day on Wednesday. The next day, the Chicago Bears announced that Ohio State RB coach Stan Drayton would become the team's RB coach. Drayton had been with the Buckeyes for four seasons.
When asked by Cleveland.com if Weber felt misled, Thomas Wilcher said "Yes. 100 percent. 100 percent."
Michigan was one of Weber's top choices. After the Bears announced Drayton's hire, he tweeted that he was "hurt as hell." That apparently was referring to Drayton's departure.
Wilcher told Cleveland.com that he hasn't heard from Ohio State coach Urban Meyer since Drayton's departure. Weber was the No. 1 recruit in the state of Michigan.
He also said he didn't know if knowledge of Drayton's departure would have changed Weber's decision to attend Ohio State.
"I don't know," Wilcher said. "I am quite sure it made a difference and it would have made a difference in his decision. It would have made a difference in what he wanted to do. But the most important thing is it would have been up to him and his parents. That would have played a big role in what was going on."
When on 105.1 FM in Detroit, Wilcher was more pointed towards Meyer. Via a transcript from Land-Grant Holy Land:
"I think Urban Meyer is going to have to step his game up [if he wants to come back here again]. He's going to have to come down here, we're going to have to talk. We're going to have to meet. Because he just came here to my school and got the number one athlete, got an All-American athlete out of my school, two years in a row; number one player in the state. I think that's big. I think that's real big for the university," Wilcher said.
"But the most important thing is you can not come up here, come up to the north, and walk out of here with your pockets full and no give us respect. That's the most important thing right now. You have to respect us. You can't just walk all over us. That's not going to happen again. I can tell you that right now."
"I talked to the recruiting coach already. I really haven't gotten my words together for Coach Urban Meyer. I'm really kind of hoping he calls me. That's what I'm really waiting for. This is a very tough situation. I can tell you right now, Mike Weber's not happy. I can tell you right now his family is not very happy. But they're teaching him morals and values and standards right now. Because Coach Drayton ,he's supposed to want to go get a higher job. That's just how it is. I'm not mad at Coach Drayton. I'm not mad at him at all, I'm mad at the protocol. That's what I'm mad about," he added.
And unfortunately, due to the nature of recruiting, waiting until after signing day to announce a coaching change isn't too uncommon (Yes, there is misdirection in recruiting. We hate to break the news to you). News of Florida DL coach Terrell Williams' departure didn't break until after NSD. Both scenarios are why kids shouldn't get too attached to coaches during the recruiting process.

Western Michigan booster files defamation suit against message board posters
The wife of a Western Michigan booster has filed a defamation suit against three posters on a Western Michigan message board.
Bonnie A. Zeigler fled the lawsuit against the three users on the site CSNbbs.com.
The three men named in the lawsuit are Dan Burgardt of Schoolcraft, Randolph T. Foster, a WMU alumnus who lives in Colorado, and Bruce L. Bendix, a member of the Michigan High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame.
Bendix is a Kalamazoo native who played football at Western Michigan University in the 1970s before going on to coach at Kalamazoo College and Comstock and Otsego high schools, among other places. In 1999, he moved to the east side of the state where he continued coaching at various high schools and he recently resigned as Hemlock High School's head coach, MLive reported on Jan. 1.
Zeigler is seeking damages in excess of $25,000 against each defendant, as well as attorneys' fees and costs, for alleged defamation and false light, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims that Bendix, Burgardt and Foster each posted "false and defamatory statements" about Zeigler on the sports website CSNbbs.com while using the online pseudonyms "MajorHoople," "Chipdip2" and "DesertBronco," respectively.
Zeigler is the wife of Aaron Zeigler, the president of the Zeigler Auto Group in Michigan. According to MLive, she's been listed as a member of the group that gives over $10,000 each per year to WMU athletics.
All three posted retractions in this thread on the site. This is the user MajorHoople's retracted post, which was modified on November 10, per the timestamp on the post in the thread about Western Michigan coach P.J. Fleck.
I hereby retract any and all claims I have made on Bronco Stampede including but not limited to this thread that an unnamed member of the Ziegler family and Mr. PJ Fleck engaged in an adulterous extramarital affair, and that Ziegler Auto Group has withdrawn all of its funding from Western Michigan University as a result.
A law firm has communicated to me via csnbbs.com that these claims are false, defamatory, and legally actionable.
Since I had no first-hand knowledge of the alleged affair and withdrawal of funding, I should not have published them. I sincerely apologize to all affected or offended.
As far as practicable I am publishing and communicating this retraction in the same size type and the same manner as the original posts.
Fleck declined comment for MLive's story. According to Burgardt, he posted his comments as satire while Foster called his posts "message board nonsense."
Western Michigan went 8-5 in 2014 after a 1-11 season in 2013. Fleck received a six-year contract extension in December and became the MAC's highest-paid coach.

San Jose State hires Al Borges as offensive coordinator
Former Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges is now at San Jose State.
The Spartans made the hire official on Thursday. Borges will coach the team's quarterbacks in addition to being the offensive coordinator.
San Jose State also announced the hire of another former assistant, Dan Ferrigno. Ferrigno will be the tight ends coach and special teams coach.
Borges was Michigan's offensive coordinator under Brady Hoke until he was fired after the 2013 season. In his last season at Michigan, the Wolverines averaged over 30 points per game. However, the Wolverines had significant issues running the football. Michigan averaged just over 125 yards a game and was 102nd in the country.
He was replaced by Doug Nussmeier, who is now at Florida after Hoke was fired following the 2014 season.
The hires of Borges and Ferrigno mean that San Jose State has former Michigan assistants at all three coordinator position. Former Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Robinson is the Spartans' defensive coordinator. He was Michigan's defensive coordinator in 2009 and 2010.
No, SJS head coach Ron Caragher is not a former Michigan assistant. However, he's a former UCLA assistant and both Borges and Robinson have previously coached for the Bruins.

Five-star DE CeCe Jefferson still unsigned, tweets 'I'm a Gator'
Jefferson, a Rivals five-star defensive end who announced his commitment to Florida on National Signing Day, still has not sent his National Letter of Intent (NLI) to the Gators.
The reason for the holdup, according to a few Thursday night tweets from Jefferson, is the departure of Gators defensive line coach Terrell Williams, who left for a position with the Miami Dolphins.
I haven't sent in my LOI because someone told me a few days before NSD that williams was leaving,why send it in without being sure ?
— 7 (@cecejeferson7) February 6, 2015 Florida reportedly has Texas defensive line coach Chris Rumph lined up to replace Williams. Despite the uncertainly surrounding his position coach, Jefferson tweeted that he is still a Gator.
Im a Gator my dude! Forget all these rumors that I was paid,my parents disagreed w my decision, all of that..My last tweet is whyi held out
— 7 (@cecejeferson7) February 6, 2015
So to all my haters,It's still Gator Gang!
— 7 (@cecejeferson7) February 6, 2015 Jefferson’s father, Leo, told Rivals on Thursday that his son is not ready to sign the letter of intent. Though Leo has been vocal that he would prefer CeCe to choose another school, he told Rivals that he would be glad to sign his son’s NLI to Florida is that’s what he decides.
“If CeCe wants to go to Florida, we are on board,” Leo said.
Aside from the unfamiliarity with Rumph, Leo wasn’t impressed with CeCe’s in-home visit with new Florida head coach Jim McElwain.
From Rivals:
Leo said that the in-home visit with Gators coach Jim McElwain was rushed, they stayed for an hour and rushed out the door to see a 2016 prospect and only talked about the new dorms and the new facilities on the visit. The visit paled in comparison to the other in home visits, according to Leo.
Leo also wasn’t pleased with the lack of communication from the Florida coaches.
“The coaches at Florida wanted the letter signed by 8:30 (Thursday) morning so they could go on vacation,” Leo said. “(McElwain) was the only head coach of all the ones recruiting him that hasn’t called as of 1 p.m. (Thursday). Coaches from schools CeCe wasn’t listing as finalists have all called, but Florida has not called him.”
Additionally, Leo said he thinks CeCe should “go away from home to grow up and get away from the Gators fans in Baker County and his friends that might distract him.”
Jefferson (and all recruits who have yet to send their NLIs) has until April 1 to sign and send their NLI, so this could play out for quite some time. In addition to Florida, Jefferson’s other listed finalists were Alabama, Auburn and Ole Miss.
