this Bill is not passing the house. in fact, they won't even vote on it before the midterms and the republicans are going to get routed, essentially killing the bill. its dead in the water.

The request doesn't make sense. If it's bipartisan, then by nature both sides are for it.

This is bs. The senate should pass The Save America Act. Period.

College sports should not be a priority of our federal government when elections are fraudulent throughout the country.

Fix elections, then fix college sports.

Oh, and don’t forget to codify Trump executive orders which represent the platform that 77.5 million Americans voted for in 2024.

Without it most everything Trump has done in his second term will be undone just like it was within days after Biden took office. And I don’t recall a slew of republican lawyers and politicians filing lawsuits to get injunctions to prevent Biden and the demorats from undoing most of what Trump accomplished in his first term.

College sports is dead on the table with its chest opened up and the Senate wandered through the OR drunk, unplugged a couple of machines and declared that they've "fixed" something.



That has been the "BluePrint" for every government fix.

The big conferences will break away from the NCAA and form their own league. This salary cap and the self governing rulings the SEC keeps pushing for are designed for just that.

Summary:

The salary cap is now 48 million including any booster payouts, no longer over the top payments.

The SEC tv contract for SEC was 40 million, with CFP expansion, tournament participation, etc that number is now over 70 million.

One transfer in 5 years.

Five years to play five.

Agents get 5% of the contract only.......this is gonna make a lot of long lost daddies who suddenly reappear very upset.

I didnt see anything on how they would address the few teams like Texas and Ohio State who are already beyond the new cap.

The legislation also aims to stabilize the NCAA transfer portal that has led to players constantly switching teams. It would restrict player transfers to one “free” move over five years without sitting out a year, with some exceptions, and also would restrict players to five years of total eligibility

Good. We need this.

You do realize that this bill has massive bi-partisan support, do you not? It passed the Senate by a vote of 77-22.

Coaches are employees and are engaged in advancement in their careers. The athletes are there to go to school and get an education. Collegiate athletics is more than just football and basketball.

Only an idiot would be against this bill, college football is on an unsustainable trajectory and cannot become NFLike regardless of your LSU homerism.


So when the money grubbing schools formed these mega conferences to make money and destroyed the regional traditions of conferences, it was OK?

TV money destroyed college football. Now the players are trying to get a cut and they are getting blamed for making college ball NFL like?

College football sold its very soul around the turn of the century. This is all just a continuation of all that.

You don’t really believe most players are there for the education do you?
