Emmert's comments didn't state that the FBI was providing information, just that they are "working" together. You have implied that means handing over evidence.

Yet, three months after making that statement, Emmert's organization had to ask the court for documents, instead of just getting it from the FBI. There is guarantee that the court is going to grant the motion (in fact I think that is unlikely).

The Motion to Intervene was denied, without prejudice, for being improperly filed and for failing to state a legal basis in which the Motion should be granted. It was never re-filed which tells me they had no legal basis (which I found to be implied in the Court’s ruling).

But you're absolutely right. "Working together" does not mean the FBI is giving the NCAA anything. If Irish read more into it, Emmert has also said that their hands are tied and can only receive information as it becomes available during the trial. The NCAA has begged the FBI to release their files, and their pleas have been unsuccessful. They wouldn't have tried to file the Motion they did if the information was being provided to them by the FBI. The NCAA is worried that if this case doesn't go to trial and/or the information they want isn't made part of the record at trail that they will never by privy to the same.

The only way the NCAA gets everything from the FBI is in the Discovery phase, which would be bad for the NCAA.

lol

the discovery phase has already happened, and even if proffered during discovery that doesn't mean it's publicly available. Because something is discoverable doesn't make it admissible. Discoverable information also includes information that may lead to other evidence that may be relevant. Plenty of things provided in formal discovery do not end up being admissible in trial. For instance, the wiretaps of Wade were obviously part of discovery yet were deemed inadmissible at trial.

Good deal. I didn't realize it had been denied. I thought their request to e-file the motion was denied, but that the motion was still pending.

I expected it to be denied (the NCAA has lost this exact same motion in prior litigation), but glad it is official.

ETA. Definitely meant to say "no guarantee". My mistake, we're on the same page here.

I mean it was denied without prejudice which means they could re-file, but they haven’t. My guess is when the judge says it needs to state a legal basis to intervene in a criminal proceeding that means 1) they didn’t state one in their original Motion which is comical in and if itself for an attorney; and 2) the judge didn’t think there was a legal basis. Judges do this all of the time to attorneys that make requests of the Court when the court doesn’t have a legal basis, to their knowledge, to do so. But, to give them the benefit of the doubt, they’ll allow them to at least try to find a precedent. The ncaa still not having refilled that Motion tells me they had no legal basis to intervene.

I read the brief. It cited a ton of cases that really weren't relevant. You could tell it was a long shot at best.

Did the US Attorney file a response? Denying w/o prejudice, but telegraphing what the outcome on the merits would be probably helps the US Attorney from having to weigh in one way or the other.

I’m not aware whether a response was filed or not. I haven’t even read their brief. Where did you find it, I’d love to read it

Not saying you are wrong, but one reason to file the motion is to give FBI cover. There may be serious privacy concerns, but if the judge orders the production of the recordings, the FBI may be relieved of liability for following the court's order.
ETA-- other posters are following more closely and state that judge denied the request. That bodes well for WW AND OTHER COACHES allegedly caught on tape.

Yep. I haven't seen the denial order, I'll look for it today, but that would be a huge victory for WW.

No legitimate lawyer truly believes a private party or entity has the right to intervene in a criminal proceeding? When your motion starts by saying there is no criminal counterpart to the civil rules of procedure allowing for an intervention, but that is exactly what we are asking the court to do....you have already lost the motion.

Not only will the FBI not be giving any information to the NCAA that has been determined to be irrelevant by the court, it would be illegal for them to do so. In fact it is illegal for anyone (i.e. the defense) to release that information. Which is why it was "leaked" and not just released. If WW could prove who "leaked" this transcript, he would probably have the basis for a good law suit.
