Senators Cory Booker and Richard Blumenthal put Dan Radakovich in the hot seat Wednesday when the Clemson athletic director testified before a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Radakovich was a witness for NCAA president Mark Emmert, who pleaded to U.S. senators to grant the NCAA antitrust protection from lawsuits due to the NCAA’s proposed legislation on name, image and likeness (NIL).
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham presided over the hearing, the third one on Capitol Hill regarding NIL.
Radakovich was asked several questions by the senators and after one of his statements he was told by Senator Richard Blumenthal to be careful how he answered things because he was under oath and he good be prosecuted for lying under oath.
