Legislation overhauling college sports faces a major test in the Senate
A bipartisan bill called the Protect College Sports Act faces a Senate committee test, aiming to regulate player payments, limit transfers, and restrict coach job changes. The bill has support from some athletic conferences, the NFL, and the Olympic committee but lacks endorsement from the SEC and Big Ten. Political divisions and potential amendments remain as the Senate Commerce Committee debates the legislation.
