Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Maria Cantwell unveiled the Save College Sports Act, a 111-page bipartisan bill offering NCAA antitrust protections and addressing athlete compensation, eligibility, coach poaching, Olympic-sport protections, and a voluntary pooling of media rights to grow revenue—an approach aimed at narrowing gaps between the SEC/Big Ten and other leagues, while stopping short of employee status for athletes; more negotiations lie ahead.
