Commissioners, Emmert To Be Questioned In N.J. Gambling Deposition

A federal judge on Friday ruled that NCAA President Mark Emmert, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NBA Commissioner David Stern, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman "will be questioned for up to four hours each" in depositions for a lawsuit over New Jersey sports gambling. They also will "have to produce years' worth of documents regarding the potential impact of sports betting" (AP, 10/20).

The order is the "latest development in a widening battle between New Jersey and big sports that began when the state announced it would issue sports betting licenses starting next year" (NEWARK STAR-LEDGER, 10/21).
