Senate Passes Protect College Sports Act, Creating Federal NIL Framework
The U. S. Senate passed the Protect College Sports Act with a 77-22 bipartisan vote, creating a federal framework for college athlete compensation, name-image-likeness earnings and transfer eligibility, and sent the measure to the House for consideration. Earlier, Sen.
Chris Murphy introduced an amendment to allow NCAA athletes to collectively bargain, and the Senate cleared a procedural vote 70-21 that counted NIL earnings toward a $48. 8 million player salary cap. The bipartisan bill, which also overhauls transfer rules and conference realignment, drew attention from Utah schools such as BYU and the University of Utah, while conference leaders prepared a parallel “Plan B” to implement similar rules at the league level.
