U S Senator Blunt on Mizzou vs NCAA

Blunt’s wife and 3 children are lobbyist. His family has great connections and pull in many different area’s.

I don’t like Blunt because I think he is dirty, but that maybe what is needed to deal with the NCAA.

From an article by CBS in 2014:
(Googled NCAA to Congress)


“Yes, Congress -- which may be even more unfavorable to the public than the NCAA -- may play a role in shaping the future of college sports. To what extent Congress could get involved is being debated within college sports, including the possibility of the NCAA seeking an antitrust exemption to protect the association’s amateurism principle.”


“In April, the NCAA hired outside lobbyists for the first time since 1998, signing up with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. The Big 12 hired the same firm. The NCAA’s lobbyists include Elizabeth Gore, who was chief of staff and legislative director to former Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.); Marc Lampkin, who advertises that he was named one of the Hill’s top 50 lobbyists and works closely with House Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans; and Elizabeth Maier, who was legislative director for former Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Az.).”

“OpenSecrets.org reported that as of June 30, the NCAA had already spent a yearly record of $240,000 on lobbying expenses in 2014. That’s up from $160,000 the NCAA spent on lobbying in 2013.”
