Under the Senate bill, co-authored by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), athletes will be allowed to transfer between schools once without sitting out a year and will be subject to the NCAA’s five-year eligibility rule, with the clock starting the academic year after they turn 19 or when they first enroll full-time in college, whichever comes first.

In addition to instituting new rules around athlete pay, the Protect College Sports Act caps the fees of agents acting on behalf of players at 5% of earnings, while barring college football coaches from leaving for another job in the middle of the season following the high-profile departure of Lane Kiffin to LSU from Ole Miss prior to last season’s College Football Playoff.
asserted
Act → institute → Playoff
The bill leaves open the question of whether athletes should be considered university employees with collective bargaining rights, and opponents of the bill argue it gives too much power to school officials accused of exploiting players to make money for the university.
asserted
it → leave → university
“The legislation that we are going to be voting on tonight is predicated on a simple idea: The idea that college sports is in crisis and that it requires a fairly extraordinary act of legislative intervention to address this crisis,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said ahead of the vote.

“The facts don’t back up that characterization of college sports,” the senator claimed.

Murphy expressed concern that the “sweeping bill” will allow colleges to “preserve the system of exploitation” that the Supreme Court deemed illegal in a landmark 9-0 ruling in 2021.

asserted
athletes → say → rules
