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,”

If the NCAA didn’t allow player transfers and recruiting during the season this wouldn’t be an issue.

Anytime the government gets involved things get better. I’m sure this will be no different in the long run.

please show me where in the US Constitution it gives Congress the authority to regulate college sports. (Hint: it doesn't). So this isn't an issue the federal government can weigh in on. And, to be honest, the federal gov't isn't supposed to be involved in 90% of what they're involved in. The Constitution lists the specific, powers granted to the federal government. Anything not listed is supposed to be handled by the states.

He didn't want to leave before the season ended. Dumb.

Are they so fricking stupid, they don't realize he didn't leave, he was fired. He was demanding, and did everything he could, to finish the season

We the people want some rules for politicians. 1. You are only allowed 20 total years of public service. If you are elected to any office its term is deducted from 20. Once you reach 20 total years you have to get a real world job!

Why don't they worry about the corruption in our f*cking government instead of amateur sports

Why call it the Lane Kiffin rule? He didn't "leave" Ole Miss during the season, he took another job while still coaching that team which, like it or not, tons of coaches have done. the only reason he did not coach out the rest of the season, as those other coaches have gotten to do, is because Ole Miss didn't let him. So, again, why is it the Lane Kiffin rule? I bet I know. They follow college sports, but they heard the whole world yelling at Lane Kiffin, so they assumed he did something totally unique.

I'm all for it, but they would have to push the portal dates back if you cant hire a coach until the season is over.
