The defendants include the NCAA, president Mark Emmert and former executive committee chairman Ed Ray.According to Judge John Leetes order, which was filed Monday, the NCAA must turn over communications between board members and administrators and between itself and Penn State officials. Privileged communications are exempt, but the NCAA must provide a privilege log outlining what documents are withheld.NCAA preesident Mark Emmert and former Penn State president Rodney Erickson agreed to the sanctions in 2012 in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal.dddddddddddd The sanctions called for the Nittany Lions to submit to a four-year bowl ban, a $60 million fine, the elimination of 112 wins and a reduction in football scholarships. Those sanctions were essentially repealed by January 2015, with the $60 million fine set to be spent in-state to fund anti-child abuse efforts.Sandusky was convicted on 45 of 48 charges in June 2012 and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence. Paterno was fired in November 2011 and died of lung cancer in January 2012 at the age of 85.Paterno was never charged with a crime related to the scandal. ' ' '
