Senate Protects College Sports Act Passes

The Senate passed the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act with a 77-22 vote, aiming to regulate athlete payments and transfers.

The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan bill on Monday that would regulate college sports, attempting to end "chaos" in an industry upended by athlete payments and transfers. The 77-22 vote gives the NCAA new authority over name, image, and likeness payments and transfer rules, while providing limited antitrust protections.

Critics argue the legislation doesn't go far enough in addressing issues facing college athletics. forestarrow.help
