This will go to a vote in the Senate

Does this mean the school that coach is leaving is not allowed to let him finish the season no matter how publicly and ardently he makes it known that he wants to finish the season?

If they would fix all the signing and transfer portal dates then the coaches leaving before end of regular season and all would mostly fix itself. That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen though when you are trying to tell people when they are able to change jobs to further their career. I agree that firings and hirings should wait until after the season but until schedule changes greatly it will happen more often. I am even good if you announce during season that a change will be made at the end of year so you can openly start putting feelers out and talking to agents etc.

I guess we have to see the actual language but all we know is that it "prevents coaches from quitting midseason to take a job at another program"

There are some serious legal issues with that

Exactly. That scenario doesn't fit anyone's narrative, though.

Let's say, hypothetically, the school doesn't want the coach to stay until the season ends.

This IS the important issue the Senate should be involved in.

Really nothing else they should be concerned about presently.

Lane wanted to finish the season and was pushed out by the AD because he was going to LSU.

Another winner by "Lyin' Ted"

Sounds more like the Keith Carter rule to me.

So Ted Cruz, who is supposed to be as right wing as they come, wants a law passed restriciting an employee of a private or public university from leaving thier job? WTF!!

This just shows you how out of touch these so called leaders really are.

Hey a-hole, how about passing a budget instead of worring about college sports coaches jobs?

Lol, that's fine, any publicity is good publicity. But really, lol, like he is the first coach or only coach to have done this. That's laughable.

I really hate politicians are getting involved with this. They mess up everything they touch. I doubt this will be any different.

Regular season or what?

What if the AD tries to strong arm him into a contract extension and Coach tells him to kick rocks?

Oh, yeah, let's name the rule THAT, because before Lane Kiffin "left" Ole Miss, no other coach, and especially not Brian Kelly at Notre Dame, EVER left their team before the end of the season, and especially not a playoff-bound team.

8. Keeps college sports tied to education, so student athletes become successful adults
They'll make more $$$ with NIL payments than they ever will with most College Degree's.

MOST College Graduates rarely pull in more than a 5 Figure ($99.999) Salary annually.

Those that go to Medical School and become "Doctors" and some with Engineering Degrees are the exception.

Hey, maybe there be "College Marching Band NIL."
