Ed O’Bannon and his fellow plaintiffs have been wrangling with the NCAA over discovery items for years. After filing a variety of motions and attempting to subpoena documents from conferences and member institutions, O’Bannon scored a victory by compelling the production of important records from the NCAA and member institutions including revenue information for radio, television, licensing, and sponsorships. U.S. Magistrate Judge Cousins found that these items are discoverable and relevant to the case. As such, O’Bannon will have the opportunity to determine the value of television revenue and sponsorship revenue earned by the NCAA and the membership.
