As I posted before, it almost doesn't have be the result of any specific new legislation, but it would be pretty interesting to see Gene DiFillipo giving tesitmony in front of a congeressional committee, followed by the CEO of ESPN, maybe Neinas and Swofford. Congressional hearing on steroids forced the owners and union to reach agreement on tesitng in bseball and othe rsports. Because it was embarassing to have Roger Clemons lie, and a bunch of stars invoke their Fifth amendment protection against self incrimination. If suddenly ESPN executives are taking the fifth, and DeFillipo is being indicted for lying to Congress, we'll see some changes in the situation. As I said, hisotrically, the NCAA emerged from a Presidential Commission looking into injuries and death from college football. Can't you see it.

Senator Blumenthal (D CT): Mr. DeFillipo, now in an interview with the Boston Globe, you said ESPN told you what to do with respect to confernece expansion. Could you tell us exactly what ESPN told you?

Mr. DeFillipo: Hummanna, Hummana...They didn't say nuthin'.
