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.

Remember how the NCAA was desperate for Congress to help them? Yeah, the good old days...

Even after the BS commercials the NCAA has been running, congress people saw through this as nothing more than a way to unconstitutionally limit how much money a person can make from their work. I can’t believe it, but Congress did something smart that actually helps people even after intense lobbying by a large corporation (NCAA).

Let people make money for their work. It is arguably in the Contracts Clause of the Constitution (I’m not a constitutional scholar but some on CIS are much more so than me), but it definitely contradicts the Declaration of Independence and the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I know the Declaration is not law, but it is our national document. It unites us as Americans and it separates us from the rest of world.

To limit how much money a person can make is un-American. Doesn’t matter the age or station in life.
 
I know as a Maude I am not supposed to write anything remotely political, but I do enjoy it when the parties find some common ground, in this case all the Dems and 3-4 Republicans. I assume there are some people on CIS who will be surprised to learn that their respective politicians wanted to limit how much money college athletes can make.

I probably have to delete this comment in about 15 minutes, and give myself a warning, so take your shots at me while you have a chance.

Do you want this thread to go to Town Hall? Because this is how threads go to Town Hall.

Seriously, I miss the days of parties working together for a compromise.

I scored a 26 on my ACT on the first attempt. Didn’t take the SAT since I wanted to remain in-state. Florida didn’t require SAT testing. Solid post.

I’m torn on this. I should have kept my comment neutral, but the votes are what they are.

I defer to your judgment as to the correct place to have this thread. I’m good either way.
