What the hell is everyone smoking? If you work for UCLA, they have ZERO right to look at your personal messages on your phone. They can only access work-related stuff if you give them explicit permission, and that’s it. Downloading 8000 files from Brosnan’s personal phone? They’re completely up sh!ts creek with no paddle. This is beyond messed up. The NCAA just broke state and federal privacy laws.
Sean is on fire! You go get em! Another lawsuit is exactly what you need. They totally messed up and you did nothing wrong.
Let’s all forget the tampering stuff. UCLA and the NCAA are totally screwed, breaking all these rules………investigating the guy who broke the rules.

I don’t know a thing about privacy laws, but seriously, it doesn’t sound anywhere near as crazy as the NCAA claiming it’s some kind of violation to call a friend who happens to have a daughter at another school. What the actual f is wrong with these people? If this was true every coach has violations coming. This report was a joke. No wonder the NCAA is going under.
The crazy part is they have no actual evidence of tampering. The NCAA's rule that you can’t be friends with someone if they have a son or daughter at another school you coach for is a bazar joke. This whole case is based on nothing. Everyone admits it was just a friendly conversation and or a serious family health issue. It’s embarrassing for the NCAA to act like this is some big deal. Brosnan will definitely appeal because the NCAA is dead wrong here. Even they admitted:
“Although tampering conduct is relatively straightforward and uncomplicated, this case involved a unique set of facts and circumstances”
And for the NCAA to say.
“Thus, even if Brosnan's communications with the two prospects' fathers did not touch on the possibility of their transfer to UCLA”

since we continue to be redundant: not true he tampered. everyone knows it. all he had to do was follow the rules like the rest of us do. simple.
One of the women who transferred admitted Brosnan tampered.
That's it. End of story. No more evidence needed.
All of the other things Brosnan keeps posting are just a distraction and trying to muddy the waters. If he thinks it makes a difference, we'll find out in his lawsuit.
But there is absolutely no denying that he tampered. One of the athletes admitted that her dad said he talked to Brosnan about transferring before she entered the portal. Like the rule or not, that is a very clear do NOT do.

STOP LYING! THEY HAVE CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF 3 INSTANCES OF RECRUITING VIOLATIONS! TWO prospects admitted violations, and UCLA's compliance staff even said Brosnan approached them saying his wife was talking to a transfer student before that person was in the portal.
"During prospect 2’s interview with the enforcement staff, she recalled her father telling her about one of the calls he had with Brosnan in which Brosnan expressed that he would love to have prospect 2 at UCLA. Following her entry in the transfer portal January 2, 2023, prospect 2 enrolled at UCLA and competed for the institution."
and
"Prospect 3 said she did not remember most of the conversation, but she recalled Brosnan telling her “good job” and saying he wanted to get her number to get in contact with her. She also recalled that Brosnan spoke about the UCLA track team and their relay performance."
and
"According to the associate director of compliance and recruiting (associate compliance director), the issue of preexisting relationships eventually arose in November 2022, when the cross country transfer window opened and Brosnan approached the compliance office with questions about prospects 1 and 2 potentially transferring to UCLA. The associate compliance director stated that Brosnan told the compliance staff that one of the prospects’ fathers reached out to Brosnan’s wife—who coached at Brosnan’s former high school—about transfer opportunities. The associate compliance director discerned that neither prospect was in the transfer portal. She and the compliance director then explained to Brosnan that he could not talk to the two prospects until they were in the portal, and they could not use Brosnan’s wife as a conduit to communicate with the family.

None of that has anything to do with this. Asking questions because people are hitting you up isn’t a violation. The NCAA has zero proof of any tampering. Brosnan didn’t talk to any of those women about transferring before they entered the portal. The NCAA literally admitted no conversations happened—just calling a friend was somehow a violation. The burden of proof is on the NCAA, and they damn well failed. This isn’t a real court; it’s a biased NCAA hearing. That’s why Brosnan has to appeal—to get these corrupt assholes to finally act fair. They’ve got absolutely no confirmed proof.
The NCAA straight up admits they have zero proof Brosnan talked to these women about transferring before they entered the portal. No evidence, no conversations, nothing. Brosnan’s been tight with these parents for years, even before UCLA. So basically, the NCAA is just making up—fabricating evidence and fake conversations they have no clue about. This is exactly why Brosnan has a massive antitrust lawsuit against them, and of course I hope he’s going to appeal because anyone and everyone would. You can’t just make up evidence like this in real life. This is exactly why the NCAA keeps getting destroyed in lawsuits over and over again.
Honestly, the NCAA is a total clown court. They run things with major bias, and you’re right—that’s why they end up losing millions in lawsuits all the time. They leave out like 80% of hearing information, and yet they never seem to learn from it. It feels like they’re more interested in lining pockets with cash than actually being fair. Maybe that’s their version of being good, who knows. At the end of the day, the NCAA has failed to show any real evidence against Brosnan—just saying “we think you did this.” They openly admit they have no proof, and their claim that just maintaining relationships with prospects’ fathers gives an unfair advantage basically means all coaches are breaking rules. It’s absurd to think you can’t even talk to a friend just because their kid doesn’t go to the same school you coach at. This whole investigation is a complete farce and a total joke.

You have 14 lawyers and you are currently involved in 3 separate lawsuits, and you STILL don't even know what an antitrust lawsuit is?????????????? How pathetic.
The antitrust point is absolutely correct. The NCAA is breaking federal and state laws by telling Brosnan who he can and cannot be friends with outside of work. This isn’t a small issue—it’s a huge deal. I’m not sure who originally posted about the antitrust angle, but they nailed it, especially since these are long-time, proven friends. This situation definitely deserves more attention.

This is the most idiotic argument ever. It's like suing the NCAA for not allowing coaches to recruit 4 year olds.
And it meets none of the requirements or definitions of an antitrust case.
This situation is completely wrong, especially since the NCAA has no actual evidence of wrongdoing. Their claim that “even if Brosnan's communications with the two prospects' fathers did not touch on the possibility of their transfer to UCLA, simply maintaining those relationships provided an advantage” is absolutely insane. They’re just assuming things and putting words in Brosnan and the fathers' mouths, which is not only unfair but also illegal. The antitrust issue comes into play when they tell a coach he can’t be friends with someone outside of work because of arbitrary rules that contradict the law. Honestly, the NCAA really messed up posting this, and they’ve clearly crossed some serious legal lines.
The NCAA has been a joke for years, totally corrupt like there’s no tomorrow. It’s a damn disgrace how they've managed to keep screwing things up while losing cash hand over fist. Time for people to wake up and call out the fraud they’ve been running.
A California appellate court states that the NCAA is exposed to substantial damages for allegedly ruining reputation of USC assistant football coach and former NFL running back, Todd McNair.

The NCAA and their lawyers like breaking every rule and then losing tons of cash year after year. This looks like another botched case by them. Seriously, telling someone what they said and who they can or can't be friends with? I don’t even know what to think anymore. They aim high and try to sneak in violations because they have nothing left and keep getting their asses handed to them in court. I really hope Brosnan sues the crap out of them before the NCAA disappears once the SEC leaves and every other conference follows.
