The top lawmakers on the Senate Commerce Committee released a bill Wednesday aimed at addressing the myriad issues with college athletics stemming from its largely ungoverned name, image and likeness era.
In a call with reporters, a Republican Commerce Committee aide said the panel plans to hold hearings and mark up the “Protect College Sports Act” in June. The measure, released along with a summary, was largely worked out by the panel’s GOP chairman and Democratic ranking member, Ted Cruz of Texas and Maria Cantwell of Washington.
