Two US Senators Propose Groundbreaking CFB Legislation, Including A "Lane Kiffin" Rule

I’m glad they solved the rest of the world’s problems. Now they can get involved in sports. Yayyy Government.

"Makes it illegal for coaches to leave their teams before the season concludes and schools cannot hire coaches before a season concludes." So my question is, if coaches can’t leave a school before the season ends, shouldn’t schools also be unable to fire coaches before the season ends?

Fix the calendar. The whole reason this past year happened the way it did was because of early signing day and the portal opening.

It does them no good to fix symptoms and not the problem.

Amazing that this is the “Lane Kiffin Rule” when he begged to stay on the team until the year was over.

I didn’t realize Lane Kiffen was the very first CFB Head Coach to leave his team before the end of the season. In fact I believe there were 3-4 Head Coaches LAST YEAR, very same year that CLK left for LSU that did the exact same thing???

Just what we need, more legislation.

The law should then also say politicians cant leave one role for another before their term is up

College athletics is broken and needs to be fixed, but it’s about 937th on the list of things that I think Congress needs to deal with.

First, the answer to any problem is NEVER more government involvement. Second, in a free nation how do you tell someone you cannot leave a job you no longer want? Isn't that indentured servitude?

Writing is already on the wall for a Super Conference.

Putting legislation in sports regardless of your political view is not the answer. This just continues to water down the sport.

Stay out of CFB.

Such a law is unconstitutional and would be ruled as such with a haste.

The Big 10 states will NEVER go for this. If all this stuff happened they'd go back to getting beat by 24 points in national champ games.

Typical pandering politicians meddling in affairs they probably have no idea about. Some of this is not that bad but it some of it also goes to show they're clueless as to the actual problems. Like I said, pandering politicians.

Written by his wife at Goldman Sachs

It's not that he left early. He had to accept early and was told to leave early. It's more like the "Hiring process to be more like the NFL rule."

None of that is for the government to decide. Those are business decisions. "Prohibit"; "hard cap", etc have no business in federal legislation. How do you administer the hard cap? Who sets it annually as market value changes? How do you restrict a person's employment movement? Plus, why not turn your attention to real issues? Let college sports collapse under its own greed and booster pride. That's the true free enterprise system. Let 'er rip. It's just going to be billionaires playing one upmanship like the college are their own franchises. This is all sickening.

Was Ole Miss in the playoffs when he left or were they projected to be in playoffs?

Seems like leaving a job is free speech.
