Looks like this is going to happen. Senators involved believe they have up to 80 yes votes.

If this thing passes, I think there is an argument that LSU’s activity over the past few 8 months is largely to blame. The cfb world looked at what lsu was doing and said we have to stop this from festering

ICYMI:


Pay Limits: Sets a strict maximum cap on the cash schools can directly pay players each year.No

Under-the-Table Deals: Stops schools from using sneaky third-party sponsors or boosters to pay players extra money.

Injury Coverage: Forces schools to pay for an athlete's medical bills during college and for 5 years after.

Safe Scholarships: Guarantees players cannot lose their scholarships if they get hurt or play poorly.

Saved Sports: Protects smaller sports, women's sports, and Olympic sports from being cut by the school.

One Free Transfer: Allows players to switch schools once without having to sit out a year.

No Tampering: Bars coaches from talking to or recruiting players from other teams during the season.

Capped Agent Fees: Limits what sports agents can charge players to a maximum of 5% on deals.

No Forced Majors: Prevents coaches from dictating what subjects or majors an athlete chooses to study.

Lawsuit Shield: Gives college sports leagues a legal shield so they can enforce these rules without getting sued.

These are the two that will matter the most.

Maybe ending the NIL loopholes will have some impact but I feel like people will find a way around it. Rev share being almost $50 million is going to be a big annual ask for a lot of athletic departments.

Don't know hp most of them are going to stay afloat and not cut any non-Rev sports if they all have to fork over $50M/yr. Oy way to do it is to pool TV rights into a super league for 30-40 schools.
