The Senate is poised to vote this week on the Protect College Sports Act after the bipartisan measure cleared two procedural hurdles with support from more than 70 senators. Sponsored by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), the bill would establish federal rules for college-athlete compensation, transfers, eligibility, agent fees and coaching moves while providing the NCAA and major conferences with antitrust protections. The legislation would give athletes a federal right to earn money from their name, image and likeness, cap agent fees at 5%, guarantee scholarships for 10 years after eligibility and allow one transfer without a mandatory sit-out year. It would also restrict coaches from leaving during a competitive season to take over another program. President Trump has endorsed the bill, but critics including Sen. Cory Booker, labor groups and the Congressional Black Caucus say it could strengthen the NCAA and limit athletes’ earning power, particularly for minority athletes. The House is not expected to consider the measure until lawmakers return in the fall, meaning it would not reach Trump’s desk before November at the earliest. The Senate is also weighing the Ratepayer Protection Act and a nomination hearing for Heidi Overton to lead the FDA.
