I do not say the business because I respect his privacy (although he has since died, he was in his 80's.) He had a gag order placed on him after he won. So even in civil court, it would have been sealed, but it was known that he was doing it.

Call my bluff? To do that I would have to be bluffing.



You do not seal records when the court makes a decision. You settle out of court to seal any evidence. The Courts would not place a gag order if one party won the case. I believe it becomes public record when the courts make a decision unless there are extenuating circumstances.

I find it hard to believe that the NCAA had that compelling of an argument to get the records sealed:

Well, perhaps he settled out of court since the ncaa knew they would lose. All I know is that he was paid a huge amount of money from the ncaa due to what they accused him of, so either way he won. Since you say only a gag order could only be placed if they settled out of court, I guess that is what they did.

I think you have it backwards, the ncaa had nothing, and since the man I am talking about was already very wealthy, I would imagine it had to have been a large settlement.
