Senate Pushes College Sports Reform | San Antonio News

The Senate is racing to pass a sweeping college sports reform bill that could reshape how athletics are funded and governed, with bipartisan support growing fast. Designed to curb runaway spending fueled by name-image-likeness deals, the legislation aims to protect student athletes through new health and labor protections, enforce uniform rules, and stabilize smaller programs — including women’s and Olympic sports. While critics question its timing and worry it grants too much power to the NCAA, supporters see it as an overdue fix for a broken system. Final votes could come as early as next week — but passage still hinges on House approval. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
