Johnson wants C-U to host hearings on NCAA bill

Congressional hearings about university governance and the NCAA could be held in Champaign-Urbana by the end of this year.

Rep. Tim Johnson, R-Urbana, and his staff are working with a congressional committee to hold hearings here about a bill that would allow the University of Illinois, or any other university, to sue the NCAA and seek damages for lost revenue if barred from hosting a championship game.
