College Sports Bill Sparks Debate | Charleston News

A major new bill, the Protect College Sports Act, is stirring up Congress with sweeping changes to college athletics — including strict limits on athlete pay via NIL deals, caps on school transfers, and legal shields for NCAA schools. Big-name coaches like Calipari and Few are lobbying Capitol Hill, while Senator Cruz amps up the urgency on TV, warning of chaos in college sports. Backed by powerhouse conferences and high-profile ads, the bill’s push is gaining steam ahead of midterms — but it’s facing strong pushback from civil rights groups and some Democrats who fear it undermines student athletes’ rights and earning potential. A Senate vote could come soon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
