Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

U.S. Senate votes, 77-22, to pass Protect College Sports Act​

The federal bill aimed at reshaping the college sports industry took a major step toward becoming law Monday night when the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted, 77-22, to pass it.

The Protect College Sports Act moves next to the House of Representatives, where it will face some opposition from both sides of the political spectrum and a narrow window to garner support. House representatives are not scheduled to vote on any bills until after November's midterm elections. If it doesn't get through the House during a lame duck legislative session before a new Congress takes over in January, the full process would have to start from the beginning.

"This bill puts an end to the chaos plaguing college athletics," Ted Cruz said from the Senate floor Monday.

The bill provides the NCAA with an antitrust exemption designed to help the association enforce a cap on how much teams can pay their athletes as well as other rules that have deteriorated due to legal challenges in recent years. If the bill becomes law, athletes would be limited to transferring one time without penalty during their college career. It would reinforce new NCAA rules that limit athletes to a five-year window to compete in college that begins either when they finish high school or turn 19 years old.

Just sayin': Well. the house hasn't passed it yet. However, it does appear to have bipartisan support.

Re: In the Senate, Republicans voted nearly unanimously in favor (50 yes, 2 no), the Democratic caucus split down the middle, with 27 voting yes and 20 voting no.

Fifth rounder???
The Vikings traded their 2024 first round pick for 0 playoff wins and a 2027 fifth round pick?
As a Browns fan, I enjoy seeing other teams get boned by bad draft choices.
Just sayin': The Vikings actually traded away (three picks) to move up 1 spot in the draft; i.e. their 1st round (#11) pick, 4th round (#129) pick, and 5th round (#157) pick to the Jets for their 1st round (#10) pick.

ESPN: And while Giants fans might have loved the idea of adding someone like Joe Flacco to continue the veteran's tour of Northeast football, teams weren't about to trade a useful backup who was one injury away from being their starter to the Giants out of pity..... :lol: The market was QB3s, not QB2s, which left one very clear choice for New York: J.J. McCarthy

Game Thread tOSU at Iowa, Sat. Oct. 3rd, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

D line better show up.
That’s the ball game right?

Other than turnovers and playing clean discipline wise. It won’t matter how good our offense is if Iowa can go for 200 on the ground.

If it means single coverage and having 9 in the box then so be it. You can’t let Iowa run the ball.

Can’t lose this one knowing what’s left.
