Key senators strike bipartisan deal on sweeping college sports reform with transfer, eligibility and cap enforcement

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Two U.S. senators have struck a deal in landmark bipartisan legislation to regulate college athletics.

Next comes a months-long process of gaining enough support for passage in a divided U.S. Congress at a divisive time in America.

Sens. Maria Cantwell, a Washington Democrat, and Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, reached an agreement on Wednesday after more than two months of intense negotiations, adopting a comprehensive bill that would grant the NCAA its long-sought antitrust exemption related to athlete transfers, eligibility and the compensation cap.

The bill — named the Protect College Sports Act — precludes the creation of a so-called “super league”; creates an agent registry limiting fees to 5%; permits the pooling of media rights; and bars coaches from leaving their team before the season ends.

...regardless if it's good or bad, there'll be a clause (or wording) that allows the uber-wealthy to get their way. Kinda like it is now.
