The bill, supported bipartisanly with a 77-22 vote, seeks to set limits on university direct payments to athletes, create transfer rules, and implement other regulatory measures. This legislation follows recent court rulings that overhauled NCAA rules and allowed student-athletes to profit from their personal brands.
The Senate passed a bill Monday night that aims to regulate college sports after several court cases in recent years dramatically overhauled NCAA rules and allowed student-athletes to earn money from their name, image, and likeness, known as NIL.
The Protect College Sports Act passed 77-22 with broad bipartisan support. The legislation would establish a federal framework for NIL payments, cap the amount universities can give directly to athletes, create rules for transfers, and establish other regulations governing college sports.
