They bribed the bankruptcy lawyer to ask a list of their questions, under oath, which were irrelevant to the hearing.
Ah, now this is problematic.
But I still disagree that, in general, the NCAA paying someone to sit at the table is illegal. It may be sleazy, but they don't have the power to force people to participate: see, Reggie Bush case. And as pointed out by jacks, the first thing I would do as the school is point out that the info was tainted because the NCAA paid to obtain it.

Do you think maybe you'd think they were just saying whatever they were told to say to get that money?
Hell, other way around, if you were on a jury, would you find testimony from someone paid to say something credible?

It's not illegal. It's unethical and improper because it violates their own rules.

I don't think the bankruptcy court and the judicial system in general will appreciate the NCAA using it as an information gathering tool for matters not on any court docket.
