NCAA President Mark Emmert and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany are "among the people on the NCAA's revised live witness list for the Ed O'Bannon trial that starts next week," according to Jon Solomon of CBSSPORTS.com. The O'Bannon plaintiffs "wanted to call Emmert during their arguments that lead off the case," but U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken "ruled last week that each live witness will testify only once and that Emmert will be available to the plaintiffs during cross-examination of the NCAA's defense" (CBSSPORTS.com, 6/4).

ALSO ON THE DOCKET: Solomon noted Wilken also will "oversee the Shawne Alston cost-of-attendance case filed in California and the Marvin Jenkins scholarship case filed by prominent sports attorney Jeffrey Kessler in New Jersey." Additional "tag-along lawsuits will likely also fall under Wilken" (
CBSSPORTS.com, 6/4).
