Summary
Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) have introduced the Protect College Sports Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at reforming college athletics. The bill proposes a targeted antitrust exemption related to player eligibility and transfers, media rights pooling, and a hard cap on compensation.
