Will this solve things?

Real NIL cannot be regulated. That will always be the Wild West. Everything else could be, but the players have figured out that a lawsuit would potentially get you anything no matter how idiotic it is. So this not a serious bill, but at some point we might see some of these changes.

It's mind blowing that after seeing failure after failure whenever government gets involved in anything other than becoming larger and more bloated and creating new bureaucracies and ways to enrich themselves that there would be any desire to involve them in something like college athletics. Name the one non-governmental enterprise they have ever stuck their nose in that has resulted in success. This has gigantic clusterf***k written all over it.

Limiting how much coaches can be paid? "Equal" distribution of broadcast revenue? What a shock that Congress would want to turn college sports into a communist enterprise.

It will definitely help. But like I heard the other day, there will Always bee loopholes that will be used. Just a matter of to what extent.

Sharing NIL and rights fees. Cap coaches’ salaries. Commissioner appointed by the President.

This sounds like something somebody came up with in a dorm room at 3am.

Emphasis on in a dorm room because no actual serious adult would propose this, right? Right?

I've said it many times, only Congress has the authority to address comprehensively the numerous legal issues (antitrust, title ix, varying state laws) the sport faces. That said I doubt that particular bill is going anywhere.

I do not want to see any law passed that would give the President to authority to name the ruling authority of college sports. We have a mess now, but this would be a disaster.

I can see it now, lesser-funded schools will automatically be placed in the CFP and will be given a 35 point lead to start the game.

If nothing is done, they won't exist anyway. Football and basketball will break off from the universities and become minor league sports teams and the non-revenue sports will all go broke and shut down. If that's what you want, that's what you'll get.

The Anti-Trust laws are the main legal issue. Those are Congress's laws and only Congress can change them. They can grant a conditional exemption. It's the only thing that will save college sports in any recognizable form.

Here’s one facet that is destined to draw a strenuous objection from the coaching profession: A coach’s maximum annual salary would be limited to “10 times the full cost of attendance at such institution.”

I don't see this ever happening and not sure it would even by legal.

This will not solve anything. In fact it will create a much bigger problem. College football players need regulations and this idea that amateurism is evil and unfair is not only untrue.....it is what has built college football into what most of us came to know and love. The NCAA is not all wrong. The biggest sin of the NCAA in my eyes has been selective enforcement. Some schools were allowed to get away with paying players while others were scrutinized more closely. Fans need to be careful about villainizing everything the NCAA has stood for just because they did an ever increasingly poor job of implementation. I find the NFL unwatchable anymore and that is where college football is headed on it's current trajectory. Everyone wants to solve problems with short term solutions and no long term effects of these "solutions" are being considered.

The biggest sin of the NCAA is perpetuating a business model where they made insane profit while hiding behind amateurism. Every reform I've seen is basically an attempt to turn back the clock to a time that can no longer legally exist.
