Senate Passes College Sports Bill

The Senate overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act on Monday with a 77-22 vote, attempting to end the "chaos" in college sports caused by skyrocketing athlete payments and unrestricted transfers between schools.

The bill gives the NCAA new authority to regulate payments to college athletes for their name, image, and likeness, as well as transfer rules, while providing limited antitrust protections. Critics argue the legislation doesn't go far enough in addressing the issues in college sports. sweetbonan.org
