Since the possible NCAA claims against the "U" were obtained illegally from Shapiro's attorney::

tOSU case was leaked as a violation(with conviction) of another break in attorney client........therefore evidence never existed

Cicero did not violate attorney-client privilege. He violated his duty of confidentiality to his prospective client, see ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.18 (adopted by Ohio in 2009). The privilege is something evoked at a judicial proceeding, similar to work-product doctrine. Whereas, confidentiality is an absolute duty.

Cicero was not acting on behalf of the NCAA and the information was not obtained through inappropriate means by the NCAA. Instead, Yahoo got ahold of the discussions between Cicero and Tressel, and made them public. Had the NCAA been conducting an investigation and contacted Cicero to obtain information, then there MIGHT be some connection between these two cases.
