tapper: mel's allegations backed rod into a corner, giving the fbi room to prosecute his inner circle 2008, the feds secured a secret wiretap on the governor himself. feeling the squeeze, rod started looking for some kind of escape route, and then a golden opportunity landed right in his lap. at this defining moment, change has come to america. [cheers and applause] now that senator barack obama is president-elect barack obama, someone will have to take over his senate seat. this is the governor's decision. uh, it is not my decision. the criteria that i would have for my successor would be the same criteria that i'd have if i were a voter. senator obama becomes president obama. he resigns his senate seat. according to the law here in illinois, you as the governor get to name his replacement. now you're excited about this, and you say on tape, "i'd like to get the [bleep] out of here," and you're talking about options for yourself. does that mean, "i'd like to get the [bleep] out of here," you were sick of being governor? that's absolutely the things i was saying, of course, and i was

these range from large universities like the university of pittsburgh, to smaller colleges like buck mel and st. francis university. the experience of being a student athlete not only prepares great opportunity -- great academic opportunities, it allows young adults to enter the world after college. in my own congressional office we have an outstanding example of this. lily benzel, a former basketball superstar and three-point specialist, whom i am proud to have as my director of operations. as we consider nil as legislators we must examine this issue and the impact that any action will not only have on big teams like penn state, but also the ripple effects that this might have on st. francis women's basketball, the juniata college basketball national championship team, and the thousands of athletes that compete and go to school everyday in pennsylvania. mr. whitman, in 2021 pennsylvania's nil law went into effect, and subsequently they have had to amend their law several times, largely to respond to other states seeking competitive advantage in their recruiting. additionally states are
