College athletes should be compensated fairly for their name, image, and likeness. But college sports also needs basic rules. We can protect NIL, stop the chaos, and make sure student-athletes are actually getting an education. It’s time to advance the Protect College Sports Act.

Exactly right, Coach Saban. If we want to preserve opportunities for student athletes and enhance the future of college sports we have to pass our bipartisan Protect College Sports Act. Without guardrails in place, college sports will continue to be in chaos

Student-athletes should NOT be classified as “employees” of their universities. This week, I introduced the Protecting Student Athletes’ Economic Freedom Act to safeguard college athletes' ability to benefit from their name, image, and likeness.

College sports are being pulled apart by transfer chaos, constant litigation, shady NIL deals, disappearing rivalries, and a broken system that is leaving student athletes, schools, and fans without clear rules or real protections. The Protect College Sports Act: - Ends the roster chaos with national rules for transfers (one free undergrad) and eligibility (5-in-5) - Creates enforceable standards on recruiting, tampering, and NIL disclosures - Protects student athletes’ right to earn from their own NIL - Enables enforcement of House settlement on revenue sharing and fake NIL deals - Sanctions against agents that take advantage of student athletes, facilitate player poaching, and recruit tampering - Protects women’s sports, Olympic sports, and scholarship opportunities - Preserves historic rivalries - Keeps college sports tied to education, so student athletes become successful adults - Prohibits football coaches from quitting mid-season to be hired by another program - Guarantees safety standards, health care, and an ombudsman for student athletes - Makes TV money work for college sports with an option for schools to pool media rights - Stops Super League consolidation

President Trump is exactly right: college sports are in turmoil. My Protect College Sports Act is the bipartisan solution President Trump supports. It ends the chaos, protects women's and Olympic sports, and preserves opportunities for student athletes nationwide. We have the Southeastern Conference and Big Ten Conference on board. Now the Senate should pass it.

The Protect College Sports Act is designed to protect our student athletes. Sports create an opportunity for young men and women to grow in their athletic abilities on an elite level, while fostering teamwork and leadership skills to prepare them for their future. We must ensure that student athletes receive the best opportunities possible to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Dan Marino came to Capitol Hill today to advocate for the Protect College Sports Act. College sports shaped his life. Now he’s helping lead the fight to protect them from transfer chaos, endless lawsuits, and an unsustainable status quo.

Female college athletes deserve to play knowing that their programs will not be cut and that they have the ability to profit on their NIL. With the majority of funds going towards the high payouts of popular men’s sports, there’s less room for women’s programs to grow. The Protect College Sports Act helps shrink the gap—generating dedicated revenue to women’s programs, preventing the elimination of sports, and protecting scholarships and academics.

You cannot have 28-year-olds playing college sports for six or seven years. Right now, athletes have multiple extra years of eligibility, former pros are returning to college, and the transfer portal has become chaos. Our bipartisan bill restores common sense: five years of eligibility, one free transfer, and clear rules that protect athletes while preserving competition.

I think college sports needs reform. But the new Senate college sports bill is not the way to fix it. It creates two different systems - one for athletes that limits and micromanages their compensation; and another with no limits for coaches, ADS and sports industry execs.
