Protect College Sports Act [formerly “SCORE Act” thread]

Funny thing is, if they. just stuck to what was important it would have unanimous support and this would have breezed right through both chambers and been done already.

A limited antitrust exemption + Federal preemption (prevent overriding actions by state laws and judges) on eligibility rules
5yrs to play 5 seasons
1 free transfer
etc etc
(basic ability to enforce rules)

That would be a nice base to at least allow the sport to function without a lot of these lawsuits and silliness.

Throwing in the conference limits, independent status mandates, salary caps etc made it messy and bound to fail. Those are bigger topics that require more time, effort and must have input from players

We needed an AD in well before to deal with this.

I realize there’s value in political maneuvering but it might be time to pull the nuclear option and get FSU Clemson UNC and others on board against this.

Don’t know why Texas Tech is supporting this.

I'll put my trust in Joe and the BOT. They got Nike done. Their influence is widespread. doubt any AD would do more
 
I want it to be dead, but I don't think it is dead. Odds are still 50/50 on Kalshi that it passes this year:

Agreed especially all of the people in those TrUmp hats at the games.

All the people bragging about his ties to the university need to convince him that it’s ******** us if this passes especially the conference limits.

Trump changes his mind all the time as the wind blows. Convince him it’s a win for him or he needs xyz done instead.

Agreed. You can work on the issues with 90% approval and table the rest.

Salary caps and stopping realignment are not universally supported.

So the ncaa go after teams why other cheat and they turn a blind eye to it . Miami fans should not want them to get involved . It allows the ncaa to go after us again

Plus this is above my pay grade but how on earth could Congress dictate which conference a school aligns with?

Seems like textbook violation of the freedom to associate.

The senate is trying to give the NCAA a broad anti-trust exemption which would give them broad authority to do what they want. Ironic that while this guy was voting for giving one multi billion dollar monopoly an anti trust exemption he was voting against another that was asking for similar exemptions
