Bill introduced to replace NCAA, limitless transfers, shake up conferences, cap coach pay

On the same day the House v. NCAA final approval hearing took place, a transformative federal bill was introduced in the House of Representatives. It would replace the NCAA while also shaking up the college athletics landscape, including with the transfer portal and conference realignment.
H.R. 2663, called the “Restore College Sports Act” and filed by Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA), would create the American College Sports Association. The entity would replace the NCAA and, “oversee and regulate college sports.” Per the bill, the ACSA would have a commissioner appointed by the President with advice and consent of the Senate. The commissioner would serve four-year terms.
In addition, the bill calls for NIL funds and revenue directly shared with the schools to be distributed “equally among all student athletes of such institutions within the ACSA.” Broadcast revenue would also need to be distributed equally, and athletes would be able to transfer “freely” and do so without penalty or restrictions, according to the bill.

After a groundbreaking round of conference realignment shook up the college sports world, the Restore College Sports Act would transform them once again. Under the bill, conferences would need to include teams within the same time zone, with travel and academic concerns cited as reasons.
The bill also takes aim at coaches’ salaries as those figures rise. A coach’s maximum annual salary would have a cap of, “10 times the full cost of attendance at such institution,” according to the text.

Good to see Congress addressing the really important matters.

LOL @ this bill

frick that. They will force NIL to be spread equally amongst the athletes. Which means the womens sports will poach NIL from mens sports so they get their equal share

College football’s demise began as soon as coaches started being the highest paid state employee.
It is a poor reflection on our society they make more than governors, senators, state reps, etc.
Which job is more important?
Just like gladiators were unpaid slaves earlier in Roman society and high paid celebrities toward the end.

Hope that never passes. There needs to be reform but some of those bullet points are ridiculous.

4. Require conferences to be composed of schools in the same time zone.
quote:Won't happen, but they will get sued for this right out the gate.
6. Limit coach salaries to 10x of school cost of attendance.
For instance. Coaching USC: tuition is $73,260/year (Same for instate and out of state). That would get you $732,000/year.
Coaching LSU: Out of state tuition: $29,148. So the coach would make $291,000.

Why does this need to be legislated?

He’s not wrong on NIL and collectives. None of these kids are worth a dog turd or selling anything with their actual name image or likeness. I’m fine with them getting paid since that box has been opened but it does need some sort of regulation/intervention. Theres no reason why some kid is worth millions before ever stepping foot on a field/court, especially when it deals with attending tax payer institutions. The rest of the bill is trash about unlimited transfers or regulating coaching pay.

This particular bill is terrible, but the courts are essentially forcing legislative action in general because they keep ruining college sports. Legislation is the only way to regulate now, because judges have completely neutered the NCAA.
