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

SCORE Act Vote Pulled
The House canceled its planned vote on the SCORE Act after several conservatives in the Freedom Caucus opposed the rule and Democrats also signaled they would vote no. Critics argued the NIL bill gave too much authority to the NCAA and failed to address deeper structural issues in college athletics. With the vote count in doubt, leadership pulled the measure.

Of the NIL proposals introduced this year, it had attracted the broadest support, and its promotional campaign became an advertising fixture throughout the college football season. With the coaching carousel dominating headlines, more attention than ever is being paid to the state of college athletics as schools, coaches, and players alike navigate the landscape.

Thanks for the update!! 👍
 
Good Progress @ weakening the CSC; but if a bill gets passed w/ a cap, going to be harder and harder to submit third-party NIL deals that survive scrutiny. But i find the power gained to be more important

 
Billable hours wins again. Undefeated. The NCAA spent $63.5 million on legal fees in the fiscal year ending in 2025. Can only imagine how much the past decade of lobbying cost.

Any efforts by Congress or anyone else to limit NIL will be met with so many lawsuits that the NCAA will go bankrupt defending them in court.

Chances are virtually zero it gets passed by the Senate before the end of the session this week. I would say zero because the only realistic way to make the deadline is for ALL 100 senators to unanimously agree to yield their debate time and let it go to a vote. Tuberville for one isn't going to do that and I am guessing there are others. But just Tuberville alone is enough to stall this until Sept. It could potentially get revived once the new session starts in Sept. But even then that's just the Senate. It will have to go through House and it's not going to get through house unchanged. They are going to try and lard it up with all sorts of irrelevant things because that is what Congress does. Those rider/amendments will stall it past the midterms, and then it gets buried. That's my prediction of what happens in the medium term. In the short term- my guess is that in-between Aug and Sept, the schools that have talked about moving conferences will formally announce it.

The House will amend with God knows what. If the bill passes it won't look like it looks today.
 
another loss in court on the class of 2022 different state, more clear ruling

Anyone who understands how Congress works knows that one side of the political spectrum is going to try and sneak in something their side wants. Wouldn’t be surprised if one party in the house slides in Title IX gender identity language, which means the other side will flip the f#ck out, it will get kicked back and forth for months. If it doesn’t get passed in 2 years the bill dies and they have to start all over again.

Personally I don’t think it will become law- this isn’t remotely as important to the House as it is to asshats like Ted Cruz in the Senate- and since Trump is in favor of it, Democrats will be reluctant to give Trump anything where he say he got a W. Democrats will likely have control of the House after November (not trying to be political, just looking at the trends) and the bill will go nowhere or be so watered down that it’s basically just a recommendation and doesn’t have any teeth.
 
I don't know how any Miami fan can look at a bill that will basically force Miami to stay in the ACC as a good thing. The 19 number they chose basically covers every major program except maybe a hand full of others. It also prevents the ACC/BIG12 from reorganizing into anything of value. I'm starting to think this was all orchestrated by the BIG and SEC to basically create an armistice on expansion at a number they feel good with while preventing anyone else from coming up with a solution to rival them.

They don't want Miami to be successful by out spending. Saban is out there golfing with Trump, what the f*** do you think he's talking to him about? All of this is being orchestrated to benefit the people who want control and power. This isn't a solution to the college football problem. It's using the problem as a guise to consolidate power. This many politicians involved in something like college f***ing football with ALL the other s*** going on in this country is because powerful people have demanded it. And those people do not have good intentions.
