Judge poses key questions to Mark Emmert in O'Bannon v. NCAA

Posted Jun 21, 2014
So much of a trial is theater. Before direct examinations, witnesses and lawyers log more rehearsal time than the cast of The Book of Mormon.

NCAA president Mark Emmert faced several such questions on Thursday in O’Bannon v. NCAA, and they didn’t come from a lawyer. (Sports Illustrated)
