Manchin a former player and Tuberville, a former college coach unveiled a bill that has been in the works for months, setting a national standard. The NCAA would be able prohibit certain NIL deals and investigate them, it would offer players who are uninsured healthcare for eight years after they graduate and transfers will have to attend college 3 years before transferring.

Also institutions whose athletic departments meet a certain revenue threshold will be required to pay out of pocket expenses for players, and will extend two years or four years, based on the institution’s revenue.

We definitely need a group of people who frick up everything they touch to start digging their hands into the muck of college athletics.

That's the solution.

3 years to transfer? Horse. shite.

I see a lot of this being scrapped in courts

Setting all politics aside, Tuberville is a classless, ignorant, POS.

Makes perfect sense. Is college football, actually college football, or a minor league system of mercenaries and fake students?

Capping incomes based on someone's name, image, and likeness is terrifying.

Typical government move to see an issue, and create a law that could have insane side effects purely because people want a small change.

I'm going to interpret that when they say "prohibit certain NIL deals and investigate them" that they really mean prevent bagmen essentially from just paying the kid or family but not investigate actual NIL deals such as Gordon or Canes or something like that.

This might be the dumbest suggestion. I wouldn't even be in favor of making a play stay for 2 years. If the player wants to transfer it sucks but let him. Now limiting the amount of times they can transfer is 100% the right move. Which is already in place. The only other thing I would put in there is a player cannot transfer before starting their first semester. That whole situation with the Florida QB is something that needs to be prevented.

So when the dust settles from realignment, the 24 team SEC will exit from the NCAA & do whatever they want!

I believe changes are needed, but this sounds terrible. 3 years before you can transfer? No way this passes. Capping NIL deals seems unlawful to me.

If there was some way to cut out the school collectives and make the deals strictly between the businesses and the athletes, I'd be all for it. 2 years before a student athlete can transfer seems reasonable.

Another reason for term limits.

Rejecting the insane NIL deals is key and clutch move. Pass this today.

This bill was not needed and shouldn’t even be touched by Congress.
