Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reports that U.S. senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell have agreed on a bipartisan college sports bill called the Protect College Sports Act.

The bill would bar coaches from leaving their teams before the season ends, a move dubbed the "Lane Kiffin" rule.

Here's what the bill includes:

-One-time transfer policy
-Establishes a five-year eligibility length
-A compensation cap, similar to the NFL's salary cap.
-Optional pooling of TV rights
-Prohibits "Super League"
-The "Lane Kiffin" rule
+ More
quote:
The act also:

-Makes it illegal for coaches to leave their teams before the season concludes and schools cannot hire coaches before a season concludes — something those on Capitol Hill refer to the “Lane Kiffin Rule,”

They got involved with sports with all these BS rulings they've made. They've been involved in sports since Ed O'Bannon. The govt started all this, they need to finish it.

"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???

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.

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

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.

Government involvement in college sports should not be a thing. No matter if you agree or disagree with rules they try to put in place, there is no place in sports for federal legislation. We have enough problems in this country they need to focus on.

Govt created the problems we have in sports now. No, they need to be totally involved and fix what they won't let the NCAA fix.

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.
