10 U.S. senators say they'll propose a bill seeking to compensate college athletes through revenue-sharing deals and additional health protections.
this week. But as the Southeastern, Atlantic Coast and Big 12 conferences continue to move forward with football amid the COVID-19 pandemic, issues of athletes’ rights are sure to remain at the forefront in the coming months.
The debate over name, image, and likeness rights continues in statehouses and the halls of Congress. As several states have proceeded to pass their own NIL bills, the NCAA asked earlier this year for congressional intervention, in hopes that a federal bill would be friendly to its interests. The senators’ proposal, if passed, would not only open up NIL rights for athletes with minimal restriction, but also seek to compensate them, upending the amateurism model long maintained by the NCAA.“The present state of college athletics is undeniably exploitive,” Blumenthal said. “The literal blood, sweat and tears of student athletes fuels a $14-billion industry, but until very recently, those students received little in return and were vulnerable to being tossed aside.
The 10 senators — nine Democrats and independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont — lent their names to a statement introducing the bill, including presumptive vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris of California.
