Senate Passes College Sports Bill

The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan bill on Monday that would regulate college sports, an attempt to end "chaos" in an industry upended by skyrocketing athlete payments and near-unrestricted transfers between schools.

The 77-22 vote to pass the Protect College Sports Act gives the NCAA new authority over name, image, and likeness payments and transfer rules, while providing limited antitrust protections. Critics, however, say the legislation does not go far enough in addressing the issues facing college athletics. solvita.blog
