The NCAA, the U.S. Senate, Tony Cardenas (Inside the Book)

A U.S. Senate hearing that had been scheduled for Wednesday, May 14th has been postponed until after the Memorial Day recess.  The Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation's hearing, titled "Promoting the Well-Being and Academic Success of College Athletes," had initially scheduled such guest speakers/witnesses as Ed O'Bannon, Mary Willingham, and NCAA president Mark Emmert.
Willingham, the UNC whistleblower and former learning specialist, was surprisingly removed from the list at the last moment.  It is unknown what her involvement will be going forward.

It will be interesting to see what information comes out in the hearings if and when they finally do commence.  There is substantial data that displays very odd behavior from Emmert's NCAA organization in the past -- apparently enough so that California Congressman Tony Cardenas has suggested further inquiries be launched into the NCAA's relationship with UNC.  
Those potential connections are well represented in the forthcoming book, Tarnished Heels: How Unethical Actions and Deliberate Deceit at the University of North Carolina ended "The Carolina Way".  The book, which contains over 360 pages of data and fact-based information, can be pre-ordered now at Amazon.com.
