The NCAA is defending the secrecy of its response to the University of Memphis’ appeal, saying member schools require confidentiality before a ruling.
Memphis has refused to release the NCAA’s response to its appeal of a ruling vacating the 2007-08 men’s basketball season under an open records request. Memphis cites NCAA rules that prohibit printing the document for media off the association’s Web site.
A NCAA spokeswoman told The Associated Press on Thursday the private organization uses a secure site that does not allow members to print save or download information to “maintain the integrity of the enforcement process.”
That argument didn’t work in Florida where Florida State was ordered by a judge to release an NCAA response in October.
