Johnson reintroduces NCAA bill

URBANA – A bill allowing universities to sue the NCAA if they're sanctioned for having American Indian mascots has been reintroduced by U.S. Rep. Timothy Johnson, R-Urbana.

The measure, known as "The Protection of University Governance Act," would allow the University of Illinois or any other university to sue the NCAA and seek damages for lost revenue if it were barred from hosting a championship game.
