O’Bannon to testify at Senate hearings regarding NCAA
The Chronicle of Higher Education first reported that O’Bannon and North Carolina whistleblower Mary Willingham had been invited to speak U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The hearings are scheduled for next Wednesday.
Committee chair Jay Rockefeller IV (D-West Virginia) has reportedly invited two significant figures for those criticizing the NCAA. Willingham recently resigned at North Carolina citing a hostile work environment. The former athletic academic advisor at the school has alleged she was dealing with athletes who were reading at barely literate levels.

The Chronicle also reported – and O’Bannon reiterated — that NCAA president Mark Emmert had also been invited to the hearings.

05/07/2014 at 3:13 PM #51797TheCOWDOGModeratorLMAO, Russkie. Emmert is not the only one to come to mind. Nor the first, when seeing Clyde like that.

That’s exactly what I meant… and that should safe our reputation…Nobody’s ever seen a Ruskie walking on campus… except maybe visiting professors…
And some of us remember and some don’t… the 1976 game between the Ruskies and the Holes…
Numerous kegs painted red were reported in the dorms and houses that night…

LOL good times 🙂

“They asked me to do it, told me what they wanted from me and then called me back” at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Willingham said, to let her know that Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, decides who would be on the panel and that she had not been included.
