Looks like a ridiculous bill on its face.

Of course someone from the defunct PAC-12 is upset by the conference realignments.
Needs the “R” stripped from his name, even though he’s probably the definition of a RINO being from Washington.

This particular bill is terrible, but the courts are essentially forcing legislative action in general because they keep ruining college sports.
Ruined, past tense.
College football may very well succeed for the same reason the NFL does, but it will be a different audience because it's a very different product.

The bill also takes aim at coaches’ salaries as those figures rise. A coach’s maximum annual salary would have a cap of, “10 times the full cost of attendance at such institution,” according to the text.
I'm sorry, but is this still the United States of America?
Tell you what...let's first talk about limiting CEO compensation at corporations, especially those that don't show a profit.

Republicans better pass the tax bill in the House this week.

Will never pass and Trump would never sign it. #4 and #6 alone are reason enough why it's bad. Conferences need leeway to select it's members freely and coaches should not be capped by some arbitrary where a coach at an Ivy League school can make more than the coach at Alabama just because cost of attendance is more. That's just dumb.

If you want college sports to get even worse, just let the federal govt run it.
Every idea in that bill is fricking stupid, especially the time zone requirement. The original SEC of 10 members wouldn’t even qualify under that

Boeing CEO pay...
"Ortberg’s maximum compensation come the end of next year could hit $22 million. That still significantly falls short of the $33 million Dave Calhoun received in 2023 as well as noticeably lower than his $22.6 million packet from 2022."

Boeing has been an absolute embarrassment in recent years.

That bill sounds very socialist.

Assuming that legislation of some sort is needed. What would you suggest needs to go into the bill?
To me, some sort of ability for the NCAA to set up transfer rules that can't be challenged by a court, some partial relief of the major income producers from title nine, and some provision for sharing the revenue generated by a particular sport with the people who play that sport. NIL is completely another deal but maybe there could be some legislation giving teeth to the pay for play and not really pay for name, image and likeness deals. I don't have a problem with a kid cashing in on some social media deal but simply buying players has to stop.

They will force NIL to be spread equally amongst the athletes. Which means the womens sports will poach NIL from mens sports so they get their equal share
Not only that, it will mean the top 10-15 wealthiest universities will dominate all sports since all their athletes will get more money due to larger NIL funds.
It will take away the ability for smaller schools to focus NIL money on one or two sports they can compete the best in.
Example: let’s say Alabama has NIL fund of 100 million but 70 million goes to football and 20 to basketball 10 to baseball.
Mississippi State has a fund of 60 million. They cannot compete with Alabama football even if they put all 60 towards football. Instead they put 20 toward football, basketball and baseball equally. Now they compete with Alabama in basketball, and have advantage in baseball while accepting football best hopes is make a bowl game.
Under the new rule, Alabama would have advantage in all 3 sports

College football’s demise began as soon as coaches started being the highest paid state employee. It is a poor reflection on our society they make more than governors, senators, state reps, etc.
LOL no
Football has positive economic value
Politicians are a drain on taxpayer money.
Football coaches are mostly paid by alumni donations not taxpayer money

I’m fine with them getting paid since that box has been opened but it does need some sort of regulation/intervention. Theres no reason why some kid is worth millions before ever stepping foot on a field/court, especially when it deals with attending tax payer institutions. The rest of the bill is trash about unlimited transfers or regulating coaching pay.
True but equal splitting of NIL is awful too.
How about a NIL cap per school similar to NFL salary cap? This keeps competitiveness among all schools. And allow for contracts and penalties so players can’t take the money and jump ship.
Example: player A gets a 500k NIL deal per year. Contract for 3 years. If player transfers early, he forgoes remaining contract money and must pay back 50% of money already paid. If player misses game due to violation of team rules or being ejected, a fine is imposed he must pay back to the fund. If player skips postseason he must pay a fine back to the fund.
