NEW YORK (AP) — Former Southern California assistant coach Todd McNair is appealing to the NCAA about its ruling against him in the Reggie Bush case.

McNair’s Kansas City-based attorney, Scott W. Thompsett, released his client’s appeal Tuesday.

McNair claims the committee on infractions used false statements and faulty evidence against him. He also claims that investigators and the committee broke NCAA bylaws when a copy of the committee’s report was given to investigators for review.

The report said McNair acted unethically and condemned his professed ignorance of Bush’s dealings with sports marketers.

USC received a two-year bowl ban and scholarship restrictions. McNair was prohibited from contacting recruits.

His contract was not renewed by USC.
